After hours of checking things out last night we found that the
errors from dmesg were due to a loose connection to the floppy
drive. Bad//cheap cable. For now, with spit and a prayer the
cable is mmaking a solid contact. And my new IBM-3720 is
alive and well.
I'm able to write to ds1 with dd, the LED blinks, and so on.
Using the Adaptec firmware, we confirmed that the drive is
all right; and using disklabel I created this /tmp file:
# /dev/rsd1:
type: unknown
disk:
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 91
tracks/cylinder: 4
sectors/cylinder: 364
cylinders: 3875
sectors/unit: 1423360
rpm: 0
interleave: 0
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
3 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 1423360 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 3910*)
This from Doug White's notes,
# This won't work if you're using /bin/csh:
d=sd1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r$d count=2
TMP=/tmp/label$$
disklabel /dev/r$d > $TMP
# Edit disklabel to add partitions:
vi $TMP
disklabel -B -R -r $d $TMP
# newfs partitions appropriately
What I need help with now is how-to use newfs to create a /home
filesystem and a /usr/local fs. I'd like to allocate 100MB for
/home and the rest for /usr/local. Can anyone clue me in on
this?
Thanks in advance!
