Message-ID: <1993Feb4.200722.13968@coe.montana.edu> Sender: usenet@coe.montana.edu (USENET News System) Organization: CS Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1993 20:07:22 GMT Lines: 42 Nate's a busy boy, I can't keep bugging him about this stuff... I have a DEC 450 ST (486 DX (not DX2)), 64MB's ram, 2 Adaptec 1740 SCSI controllers running in enhanced mode, a Fuji 512 MB drive, and a DEC RZ25 (425MB disk, configured via SETUP to receive a startup command from the controller.) Both drives are on the same scsi controller, the second controller is not configured. I have a bootable floppy that has a kernel configured with Adaptec support, thanks to Nate. I boot this puppy, and I get to the '#' prompt just fine, no problems. It sees the drives, floppy, network card, etc. The Fuji drive is partitioned thusly: 450MB's for DOS, 50 MB's for 386BSD, with the whole RZ25 set aside for 386bsd if I can get it running. I was using booteasy on an IDE drive (120 MB) configured about the same proportions, and it worked fine. But now I've chucked the IDE drive. If I fire off install, I get: sd0: no disk label Do you want to install 386BSD on the ENTIRE drive? (y/n) I hit 'n', because I only want to use the 50MB partition, and then it just drops me back to the '#'. Speculation is that I somehow maybe need to use disklabel to partition the second partition into a usable drive? Any ideas on what I need to do? Whatever happens, I somehow need to avoid trashing my dos partition :) (Although it will be backed up shortly.) Any help appreciated. Thanks.
