Re: IBM drive.
NOTE that this has bounced 17 times to Greg Lemis,
mailed directly.... Hopefully it will work via the
list. --gdk.
I'm lost.
I've been trying to get this bloody thing installed for a few weeks,
and not getting much closer. But with help from the mailing list,
and continued trying... (?) Hopefully.
As I see it, there are two issues, prob'ly tightly coupled. The first
is the size of the slice/partition; the second is the error messages.
Mike Murphy (mrm@mole.org) said that the 1423360 is incorrect. He
multiplied out 4*91*3875 to get 1410500. He suggested this disktab
entry that I tried that seemed to work with sd1a:
#mrm ibm3720|IBM 720MB SCSI:\
#mrm :dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#4:ns#91:nc#3875:rm#4500: \
#mrm :pa#1410500:oa#0:tc=4.2BSD:bc#8192:fc#1024: \
#mrm :pc#1410500:oc#0: \
#mrm :pd#1410500:od#0:
(Mike suggested using sd1a rather than sd1c... )
I did a
disklabel -r -w sd1 ibm3720
followed by a
newfs sd1a
and after newfs created the filesystem, the drive mounted on /mnt,
no problem. ---But upon rebooting, the same errors were printed
out.

This makes me wonder exactly where the 1423359 is coming from. The
1410499 is coming from fdisk.... Mike said that I had to use fdisk
and plug in the ``right numbers''...but fdisk is worse than
difficult to understand. fdisk says that sd1 has 4 partitions and
only the 4th is for FreeBSD, and I don't have a clue.
Trying your disktab entry with disklabel gives me the following
errors:
partition c: partition extends past end of unit
partition h: partition extends past end of unit
Upon rebooting, there are similar complaints as above.
Do you have any idea what's happening here?
Should I suffer thru using fdisk? and can you guide me by the
hard thru it? As I said, I'm lost. Adding a drive--esp'ly a
SCSI drive--shouldn't be this hard....
Thanks for any clues here.

PS:
The exact output from dmesg when Using your
/etc/disktab entry is:
changing root device to sd0a
sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic
sd1: raw partition size != slice size
sd1: start 0, end 1423359, size 1423360
sd1c: start 0, end 1410499, size 1410500

And yet, /dev/sd1c is mounted on /usr/local2,
cleanly.
