I get the following:
[morden] 16:42 /dev fdisk wd1
******* Working on device /dev/rwd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=621 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=621 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
start 63, size 2048193 (1000 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 253/ sector 63/ head 127
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
start 2048256, size 2048256 (1000 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 254/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 507/ sector 63/ head 127
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 4096512, size 911232 (444 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 508/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 620/ sector 63/ head 127
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
I know for a fact I had two freebsd partitions here: wd1s3 and wd1s4..but
this seems to indicate the second one has been trashed somehow.
Am I interpreting this correctly?
