Hi. While installing NetBSD 1.1 I noticed the following warnings:
>warning found rdb->secpercyl(166) != rdb->nsectors(42) * rdb->nheads(4)
>warining lp->d_sparespercyl(2) not multiple of lp->ntracks(4)
These come up after the system asks:
Do you want to continue with installation? [n] y
It then scans my hard drives and comes up with those warnings. Following
this it suggests that I use my sd0 partition to install root on. If I
consent it will format root and create an fstab for it (Following this it
will format and create an fstab for /usr as if nothing was wrong.)
My question is: Should I be concerned about the warnings? Do I need to
repartition my hard drives? Just in case info is needed, here's the
output of the rdbinfo untility (in the NetBSD-1.1/amiga/Utilities
subdirectory):
