(This is probably a -questions issue, but I've tried without success,
and the boot programs are all -current.)
I can't seem to boot from wd1s3a. When I run the loader, and set
currdev=disk2s3a, it won't ls, and when I try to lsdev, it says there
is a bad partition table on wd1. I found it necessary to change the
BIOS parameters using sysinstall before I could write the label and
boot1, boot2. (I believe the boot and loader on both drives is
-current now.) When I run fdisk from Win98, drive D: is shown as
504MB in toto, although the partition sizes are correct. wd0 is WDC
AC313000R (primary master), while wd1 is WDC WC136AA (secondary
master).
I can run multiboot on wd1 using 'F5' in the wd0 multiboot, but
attempting to boot wd1s3 thereafter fails, returning to the multiboot.
Here's the partion table:
******* Working on device /dev/rwd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1653 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1653 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 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 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
start 63, size 4192902 (2047 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 260/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 130,(Linux swap or Solaris x86)
start 4192965, size 273105 (133 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 261/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 277/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 14795865, size 11759580 (5741 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 921/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 131,(Linux filesystem)
start 4466070, size 10329795 (5043 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 278/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 920/ sector 63/ head 254
Both drives are LBA in the BIOS. I modelled wd1 on wd0:

The BIOS and fdisk agree on the c/h/s limits.
