Never mind the fdisk it works. But something else bothers me...
I have two IDE drives in the system. They are exactly the same:
WD0 -- \
WD2 -- / Maxtor 71084A 1036MB(2121840 sectors),2105 cyls,16 heads
63 sector/track, 512 bytes/sector
However,
The disklabel info for wd0 says:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 64
sectors/cylinder: 4032
cylinders: 525
sectors/unit: 2120769
And for wd2 I edited the disklabel entry to duplicate the entry somewhat.
My question is: Why do i have to spend hours of time cross-referencing
every damn thing when all I want to do is format the bloody thing.
Is there or is there not a simple way to do this?
If there is a simple way what should be investigated when it isn't working
as described (e.g. FAQ part 2.15)?
