I am at a loss. I have been working with 2.0.5 release = of freeBSD and have been working with a 4GB SCSI hard drive for a while. = I am trying to install another 2 GB SCSI drive to the system, a Quantum = model VP32210, and I am having problems with it. The parameter of the = drive reported by the system is: cylinders=3D 4243, head =3D 8, sectors = =3D 255 and the total sectors =3D 4276943. First I run fdisk: fdisk -u /dev/rsd1 then I follow all the default values until it gets to Should we write new partition table?[n] Where I enter y and hit return. Then I get the following error. ioctl DIOCWDINFO: Operation not supported by device Can you tell me what could be wrong? I tried everything I can think of = and I had not luck. Mind you, I am not very fluent in UNIX but I = thought it was very easy to do this. Am I missing something? Thanks = much for your help. Ben Park ben@bayscenes.com
