hello family, I have some drives that I've brought home for repair. I have a Promise IDE controller installed with dual ports and two 36" IDE ribbons attached to the Promise controller and snaking out an open CDROM slot, along with a powersupply leads. My FreeBSD box boots fine, the Promise card shows up and my first drive came up as /dev/ad5. I used "sysinstall" to delete the old partitions and now need to simple create one big "FAT32" partition/drive and see if things work when this drive is placed back into a machine at work. I saw no options for FAT32 in the "sysinstall" menus of fdisk and was wondering if I can whip this drive into shape via command line. Thanks. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco,CA 94121 http://billschoolcraft.com "We can find no wealth above a healthy body and a happy heart."
