Summary: Disklabel dont work
Argghh !
Disklabel doesn't work for me in any of the recently suggested formats.
I'm trying to label a second SCSI disk on a 1542b.
Here's the disktab entry:
fj|Fujistu Giga:\
:dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:\
:nc#1819:ns#77:nt#15:\
:se#512:\
:pa#2100945:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:ba#4096:fa#512:\
:pc#2100945:oc#0:
I did:
disklabel -w -r [sd1,/dev/rsd1[a-h]] fj [/usr/mdec/sdboot /usr/mdec/bootsd]
and all possible permutations thereof =8@
Result:
Bootstrap doesn't leave room for disk label.
Who's boots use so much room on my label?
