Hey all..
I was attempting to add a 2nd hard drive to my system. Following both the
handbook and "the Complete Freebsd", i'm attempting to do things "the easy
way" through sysinstall. Problem is that when I go into "index" and then
"partitions", I get the message:
No disks found! Please verify that your disk controller is being
properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the
Documentation menu for clues on diagnosing this type of problem.
So, looking at "dmesg", I see:
ahc0: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> rev 0x01 int a irq 11 on pci0.17.0
ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs
And further down:
sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0
sa0: <AIWA GD-8000 0119> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device
sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 7)
da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <COMPAQ ST34572W 0892> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled
da0: 4094MB (8386000 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 522C)
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 8 lun 0
da1: <MICROP 3391WS x43h> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da1: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit)
da1: 8681MB (17780058 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C)
changing root device to da0s1a
da1: cannot find label (no disk label)
da1s1: cannot find label (no disk label)
With those last two lines repeating repeatedly (most likely due to my
accessing sysinstall).
Given that the drive is being found, and so is the controller, and my FIRST
drive is working just spiffy, any ideas what the problem is?
If I try an "fdisk sd1", I get the results of my labors from doing it "the
hard way":
merlin# fdisk sd1
******* Working on device /dev/rsd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=10183 heads=194 sectors/track=9 (1746 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=10183 heads=194 sectors/track=9 (1746 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 17780058 (8681 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 82/ sector 9/ head 193
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
Thanks in advance,
John
