After labeling the hard disk, newfs gives out an error message like: "newfs: partition 'a' is unavailable" I have created only one partition with 'A' of 'F' key in the fdisk program. I tried the same procedure on a desktop PC with IDE hard disk, there's no such problem. CD-ROM install of 4.2-RELEASE works fine on those boxes, too. I think the problem is in the new version of sysinstall. >How-To-Repeat: Follow the install procedure, partition and label the disk. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the messagehelp
