I believe that I am having issues with my hard disk and I would like to give this a try. 5 times I have installed and gotten 5 different sefaults when I try to run make buildworld, but install make buildworld works fine on another spare computer around the house, so I am pretty sure it isn't anything with cvsup. I did a search on google and only found things for making low level formatting a floppy disk, or utilities to make a disk in windows. Any help would be appreciated.
