Kernin) Nntp-Posting-Host: ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu Organization: University at Buffalo Date: Wed, 6 Oct 1993 04:30:00 GMT Lines: 57 Greetings, Ran into an interesting problem (well, for me anyways) when setting up NetBSD on one of out i486 PCs. I followed the install scripts, and give the HD settings as asked. It came up with 236385 512 byte sectors, and then asked for the partitions, etc. I gave the whole disk to NetBSD, 210000 to the root "a" partition, and the remaining 26385 to the "b" swap partition, hence using the total 236385. Later I looked at the disk using the "disklabel" program, and kept getting the messages: wd0c: overlaps open partition (a) wd0c: overlaps open partition (b) It looks like cyl. 823 is allocated for both root and swap, but I'm new to BSD (but like it a lot ;) and cannot be sure. Looking at the output from a "disklabel /dev/rwd0c" can anybody give me any suggestions? Thanks! for any/all input. ----- # /dev/rwd0c: type: ST506 disk: SHD-3062A label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 17 tracks/cylinder: 15 sectors/cylinder: 255 cylinders: 927 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 4 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 210000 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 823*) b: 26385 210000 swap # (Cyl. 823*- 926*) c: 236385 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 926) d: 236385 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 926) ----- Take care, -Rich --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard P.
