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
