I compiled it on my machine and put it on a 3.5" dist.fs boot floppy (in order to modify my disk's partitions before installing). When I say fdisk -u /dev/rwd0d and do the changes to the disk partitions I get Can't write fdisk partition table. The disk has received a primary DOS partition and an extended DOS partition before written by DOS FDISK. I wanted to change the EXTENDXED DOS Partition to type 386BSD or Unknown and then install 386BSD on it. What am I doing wrong? -- --Chris Christoph P. U.
