Summary: Can not use second/virtual drive with IDE. Message-ID: <CDrxEM.61t@tyrell.net> Keywords: IDE 386BSD BSD disklabel Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1993 21:08:31 GMT Lines: 17 I've encountered a problem. We have a 1Gig IDE drive that, due to the fact that it has >1024 cylinders, devides itself into 2 drives (you have to have two different configs in the BIOS or it doesn't work). My problem is I've been trying to do a disklabel on the second "drive", but ultimately failing. I can do a 'disklabel -e -r wd1' and the resulting edit & save go off w/o a hitch. If I display the label, it comes back with: Bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled) The label looks just fine. No problems there, but it won't let me use it... Anyone with suggestions, it would be helpful. L8r G8r Nanook
