When I first installed FreeBSD on my 1.6Gb disk, I had a 300Mb dos
partition. Subsequently, I added a 2nd hard disk, and moved most of the
dos stuff over to it. I thus wanted to reduce to a minimum the dos
slice, and put a FreeBSD filesystem in the remaining space.
Here's where I've gotten to so far:
bash# fdisk /dev/wd0
******* Working on device /dev/wd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3158 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=3158 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 4,(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT)
start 63, size 61425 (29 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 60/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 616896, size 2566368 (1253 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 612/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 61488, size 555408 (271 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 61/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 611/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
bash#
It's partition 2 that I want the file systems on. (It shows up as a
device: /dev/wd0s3).
But...
bash# disklabel -r /dev/rwd0s3
Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)
bash#
So my question: I'm a bit lost as to how I actually get a FreeBSD
filesystem on this slice and create the devices. I can't quite
understand the manual pages clearly enough to know what to do next. Can
you please get me pointed in the right direction?
Thank you.
