It seems I can only get a 1GB partition on my 2GB drive. Here is
all the relevant info I can think of.

parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:

Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:

BTW, I am running -current as of 8/25/96 on a P5/90 w/64 MB of
ram. The IDE drive mounted on / is 1GB and everything seems to
be hunky-dorey. It seems to have something to do with f_bsize.
I tried changing it with 'newfs -i 2048 wd1c', but to no avail.
I also tried to use /stand/sysinstall but it returns an error
about 'no drives found' when I try to repartition wd1.
Anybody have any ideas what I'm missing?
TIA,
Steve
