Wrong calculation, please use end of device - 1 track - 126 blocks. Your 1 cylinder assumption will cause bad144 failures for device that have a cylinder size smaller than 126 blocks + 1 track. (ie, 4 head, 17 sector drives require (126 + 17)/68 == 2 cylinders+2 sectors to work. Been here, made that mistake in the 1.0 install, fixed it, please you do it correctly now too. > Also mknod the 'c' partition for freebsd slices, so bad144(8) will have > something to work on. :-) -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
