Looks OK so far. Where are the terminators installed? Can you run
disklabel -r and fdisk against it? For example,
# disklabel -r sd0
# /dev/rsd0c:
type: SCSI
disk: sd0s1
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 55
tracks/cylinder: 26
sectors/cylinder: 1430
cylinders: 2955
sectors/unit: 4226725
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 81920 344064 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 240*- 297*)
b: 262144 81920 swap # (Cyl. 57*- 240*)
c: 4226725 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 2955*)
e: 81920 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 57*)
f: 1900000 425984 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 297*- 1626*)
g: 1900741 2325984 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 1626*- 2955*)
# fdisk sd0
******* Working on device /dev/rsd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=7044 heads=20 sectors/track=30 (600 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=7044 heads=20 sectors/track=30 (600 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 0, size 4226725 (2063 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 30/ head 19
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
