I've tried couple more tricks, like zeroing the /u/doscmd file to the > requested size, vnconfiging it and trying to access it through /dev/rvn0c. > None of them helped. The file must already exist, with the correct size. eg, for a type 30 disk, your disk_c file should be 55931904 bytes in length. You did say you alredy zeroed the file to the correct size, but you may want to check. If this still fails, try giving a specific C/H/S value for the disk, and creating the correct size, eg: assign C: /u/doscmd/disk_c 1600 8 8 dd if=/dev/zero of=/u/doscmd/disk_c bs=1m count=50 I've had some weird results in the past with fdisk not liking certain H/S values, so perhaps that's the problem. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
