Message-ID: <CMI5Dz.LBC@news.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de> Sender: news@informatik.uni-stuttgart.de Organization: IPVR, University of Stuttgart, Germany Date: Fri, 11 Mar 1994 13:27:34 GMT Lines: 45 I have work with 386bsd 0.0, 386bsd 0.1, NetBSD 0.9 and now with FreeBSD 1.0. I never had any problems writing disklabels. Now someone asked my to install FreeBSD 1.0 on his machine. I booted FreeBSD, installed the hard-disk without any problem, except somtimes an wd0c: extra interrupt occurs. After the reboot FreeBSD can't found the disklabel. I tried to boot and set the disklabel manually by disklabel -r -w wd0 lp240a After that I can read it with: disklabel -r wd0 But if I reboot the machine the kernel says cannot find disklabel. I tried again: disklabel -r wd0 The output was complete stuff. The system was a no-name 486dx-33 VLB with an Intel Etherexpress networking card and a Quantum LP240A connected to an VLB-AT-Bus-Controller. Can anyone tell my why the kernel can't find the disklabel after reboot ? Perhaps I should mention that there is an MS-DOS-Partition on the HD which I tell FreeBSD to leave untouched.
