What do I do about this?
I followed Seppo Kalio's instructions about adding another disk and
ran fdisk. The output I got from fdisk was this when I had finished:
We haven't changed the partition table yet. This is your last chance.
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=2337 heads=4 sectors/track=71 (284 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=2337 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)
Information from DOS bootblock is:
0: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 0, size 655360 (320 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 319/ sector 32/ head 63
1: <UNUSED>
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>
Should we write new partition table? [n] y
bash# disklabel -e -r sd1
Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)
bash#
I am using an Adaptec 1542B controller. This always gives 64 heads,
32 sectors, right? Where am I going wrong?
