This is the only message I get now about the structure of the second hard disk I've been experimenting with. /kernel: sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic I built the disk with /etc/disktab, and disklabel. I put together the disktab myself from examples and trial and error. It now all works, except it returns this message. There is no a partition, because as I understand it, only the primary, or boot/root partition should have an 'a' partition. There can be as many of the others as make up the different disks. According to the hand book anyway. 6 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] b: 336640 0 swap # (Cyl. 0 - 174*) c: 4110000 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - 2133*) d: 1257787 336640 4.2BSD 1024 8192 0 # (Cyl. 174*- 827*) e: 1257787 1594427 4.2BSD 1024 8192 0 # (Cyl. 827*- 1480*) f: 1257787 2852213 4.2BSD 1024 8192 0 # (Cyl. 1480*- 2133*) Everything works fine. fsck's ok and mounts and so on. So. What is this message... /kernel: sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic and how do I give it some magic, if this is what it wants? cheers Robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
