My sysinstall is not recognizing the disks on a particular machine and I have poured through docs to find that upgrading the sysinstall will normally fix this issue. It has not fixed my problem. I now seek to use command line utilities to set up the disk. I have followed the FreeBSD guide to setting up a new disk and I'm having some problems. The disk as indicated by dmesg is /dev/ad1. If i run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 count=2 I get operation not permitted. I have also tried this in single user mode to no avail. Any help is appreciated. /s/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
