At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, I have the following
questions:
1. What is the syntax for the fdisk command on NetBSD. I am from the
Linux world. After I get the netboot up and running and have a root
shell, I cannot run the "man" command to get the fdisk page. The system
tells me that "man" is not found. I have mounted /usr, and the base, man,
and text sets are installed on the NFS server. I need to leave the first
ext2 filesystem alone so I can boot the system. I want to make the rest
of the drive a BSD filesystem. Also, the syntax for disklabel would help
as well.
2. It was mentioned in one of the Howto documents that I should be asked
for my terminal type after loggin in single-user mode. I was not
asked and my terminal is quite messed up. Any ideas?
Thanks.
