I am tring to install NetBSD-1.3.3 on a computer with a 10.1 Gig
harddisk and a 5.5 Windows partition. The NetBSD partition (type ID 165
(right?) is partition 2 and should be approximently 4 gigs. and the
other partition shows up as 5852 megs (which is correct). However when
I am running the sysinstall program the NetBSD partition comes to be a
maximum of 2 gigs (it shows the MSDOS partition of 5825 mb (11984427
sectors offset 63). When I was prompted for the disk geometry and
information the BIOS read a little over 1024 cylinders. It would not
let me keep that number so I had to say 1024. I got some type of error
when it was writing out the superblocks in newfs. I cannot mount any of
the partitions when I boot now. Any ideas? Has this been seen before?
Also I noticed that the Real geometry was 16 times the cylinders with 16
heads, the other option was also this, so I just went with real.
Also, just a side note about apache on my other system that doesn't
apply directly to NetBSD. I added a module to it and for some reason it
changed my configuration directory to a directory called 'conf' when I
compiled the new apache. I added mod_frontpage.c and mod_spelling.c.
Has anyone seen that before?
Thanks
Chris
