I know this is a FAQ which I have read, but I can't seem to partition
my disk to anything but the default.  What am I doing wrong?   Do
I need a disktab entrie to match my disk, before disklabel will work?
Does the partition relate to fdisk format?


Also does 386BSD have any problem supporting drives larger than 1 gig?

thanks
