You could have done something wrong. Without any output, it's
difficult to say. What does the partition editor say? Taking the
(somewhat outdated) example from "The Complete FreeBSD", we have:
Disk name: wd0 FDISK Partition Editor
BIOS Geometry: 989 cyls/12 heads/35 sectors
Offset Size End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags
0 35 34 - 6 unused 0
35 167965 167999 wd0s1 2 fat 6 =
168000 246960 414959 wd0s2 2 fat 6 =
414960 420 415379 - 2 unused 0
The following commands are supported (in upper or lower case):
A = Use Entire Disk B = Bad Block Scan C = Create Partition
D = Delete Partition G = Set BIOS Geometry S = Set Bootable
U = Undo All Changes Q = Finish W = Write Changes
The currently selected partition is displayed in reverse video
Use F1 or ? to get more help, arrow keys to move.
I need the lines starting below the header "Offset".
Greg
