Message-ID: <1992Aug11.002811.25403@access.usask.ca> Date: 11 Aug 92 00:28:11 GMT Sender: news@access.usask.ca (USENET News System) Organization: University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada Lines: 14 Nntp-Posting-Host: dvinci.usask.ca Hi to all, With only modest knowledge of DOS and Unix I am trying to install 386BSD on a PC (486/33 with SCSI AHA1542B disk cont.) I understand that I need to disklabel the 2nd partition (1st partition belongs to DOS), but don't know how. Without this install doesn't recognize the disk, right? I just read someone using Norton Utilities to alter the label of the partition to 0xA5; please elaborate. Any other way, say "disklabel -r ..." from fixit ? Sorry for the extremely novice question, and thanks for the help - Israel Oznovich ps. Would a simple DOS "format d: /s" do?
