Hi, I am trying to format some 3.5 HD disks for use with the FreeBSD 2.1 I tried the following procedure: # fdformat -f1440 /dev/fd0.1440 (works fine but sometimes it reports some errors like: fd0: input ready timeout NOTE that under X11 it works without any error) # disklabel -w -r /dev/fd0.1440 floppy3 (works ok too..) # newfs /dev/fd0.1440 (reports these errors) Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group to 5. Warning: 1216 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated /dev/rfd0.1440: 2880 sectors in 1 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors 1.4MB in 1 cyl groups (5 c/g, 10.00MB/g, 4448 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 32, So , the 3,5" HD disk has only 851968 bytes free.... Any ideas ? Thanx in advance Chris
