I have just installed NetBSD-0.9 on my PC 486, so im rather new to this.
I have had a few problems..
Mainly:
I have TWO seagate st1239a disks (255MB) on my machine. The installation
FINDS both disks (wd0 and wd1), and is installed on wd0. When i try to
mount wd1 i do:
disklabel -w /dev/rwd1a **
where i have tried, in place of **, variously SE506 and an entry i have
created in the disktab and i get a response..
.....(some stuff here).. no label on /dev/rwd1a
/dev/rwd1a Invalid Argument
!!
The second line is strange. I have done everything the manpage say about
disklabel. Finally i tried
newfs /dev/rwd1a
and i get
/dev/rwd1a Invalid Argument
I wished to format the disk: the manpage for newfs mentions format(8),
but there is neither a man entry for format(8) nor the command itself
anywhere.
??
Also, if i wish to put the machine on YP, is there any limitation on
the number of filesystem i can mount?
Thanks
