I am still getting (using the commands above on a HD disk):
shaman: {46} newfs fd0.1440
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)
It must be that 1216 sectors warning message keeping it all back. What
can I do to fix this?
Andy
