Dear NetBSDers,
sorry for the stupid question, but I have problems labeling disk.
I have added a Quantum Fireball 1080A (2112c, 16h, 63s) as a master
to secondary IDE channel, and it was properly recognized by the generic
1.4_BETA kernel. I have appropriately edited /etc/disktab and ran
disklabel -w -r wd2 tertiary
disklabel stops in input, and after pressing Enter it prints out
disklabel: can't read master boot record: No such file or directory
But the disk label is properly formatted and is visible via pfdisk
from dos. (Btw. the sysinst program does not offer the wd2 disk
for the installation. Is this intentionally omitted for sime reason?)
Am I doing something really stupid or is my disk ill...?
Thanx in advance,
cerno
