# fdisk wd1
******* Working on device /dev/rwd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=2112 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=2112 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
    start 3490185221, size 3493855237 (1705984 Meg), flag 5
	beg: cyl 975/ sector 32/ head 0;
	end: cyl 975/ sector 40/ head 0
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
    start 90701829, size 7 (0 Meg), flag 5
	beg: cyl 464/ sector 16/ head 0;
	end: cyl 464/ sector 24/ head 0
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 0,(unused)
    start 70254592, size 835452928 (407936 Meg), flag 0
	beg: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0;
	end: cyl 0/ sector 0/ head 0
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 1, size 2128895 (1039 Meg), flag 80 (active)
	beg: cyl 0/ sector 2/ head 0;
	end: cyl 63/ sector 63/ head 15


So it sees the 4th partition, is there a way to get anything off of it?

Thanks again!
