I'm trying to recreate the disklabel on my western digital IDE hd. I am doing this from a custom made fixit floppy...I try this.. disklabel -w -B -b /usr/mdec/wdboot -s /usr/mdec/bootwd /dev/wd0 auto and it complains that with the auto option I must supply a "canonical disk name" I am assuming that this is referring to a drive type in /etc/disktab. There is nothing in /etc/disktab that vaguely resembles anytype of WD ide drive...furthermore if I could try and create an entry..but I have no idea how to answer most of the questions such as how many tracks per cylinder ..etc. Is this the only way to do this? Or is there an easier way? Thanks.. please reply via email. Jason Hudgins jasonh@smtp.dancooks.com
