next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
can anyone who has this isntalled, send me copies of the block 0
of their disk, and a description of the disk's geometry
as seen by the BIOS and by BSD..?


Does anyone know the answers to the folowing questions? (BDE?)
1/ does ontrack just use '63' as the start of it's section or does 
it use the start of the 2nd cylinder?
2/ does it write teh start location of it's bit in it's MBR entry?

does it set the END entries correctly?

maybe with enough examples I can andswer these questions definatively.

I'm most of the way through writing a disk subsystem to replace
the diskslice wd/sd fdisk/disklabel mess we have at the moment..
(though it's a great improvement over what we had originally)

thanks
