Do anyone know of any good disk layout docs? Everytime I try to add a disk to a FreeBSD system, it is an exercise in frustration, and seems to me like it shouldn't be too hard to read the size of the disk and write a basic initial partition table and disk label that will make disklabel happy, and I'm willing to do it if I can find the information needed. Currently, I've tried "disklabel -r -w sd0 auto", and it complains "write: Read-only file system". *What* file system!?! I *haven't* *gotten* that far yet! ktrace shows it to be /dev/rsd0c that it's complaining about (the system disk is ide).
