Hi All
I'm getting more than a bit confused with installing a new SCSI hard
disk.
>From the FAQ, i did a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd1 bs=1k count=1
to make the disk empty, and then a
fdisk -u /dev/sd1 which appeared to make a freebsd partition for the
whole disk.
fdisk /dev/sd1 gives me:
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 1, size 663707 (324 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 0/ sector 2/ head 0;
end: cyl 289/ sector 1/ head 0
bash#
If I now do a disklabel -e /dev/sd1 it says:
line 12: 0: bad rpm
line 13: 0: bad interleave
Warning, revolutions/minute 0
re-edit the label? [y]:
Where to from here?
TIA, from a very enthusiastic new convert.
Regards,
Irvine Short
