Argh, I know this is going to be something simple but I'm 
stumped.


Again :)


I've been trying to format a 128CF card to run hpcmips on my MP800,
but every time I insert it, WinCE insists the DOS partition is 122Mb
instead of 5Mb (as I thought I'd set it).

I've got a nasty feeling I've got overlapping partitions here,
but can't see them.

I've been trying to follow 
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/hpcmips/install.txt
but my experience with disklabel is nonexistant 
[ that's what sysinst is for :) ], which isn't helping.

I had a look at the guide though, and as far as I can make out the disklabel
letters mean the following:

d = entire physical disk
c = the BSD bit
(which is then subdivided into a = root, b =swap,etc)
and then e which  has been bodged to point out the BSD zone at the 5Mb
DOS partition.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the picture below?

It's the df output that is scaring me, really - the DOS slice
should be 5Mb, but it shows as 100M+?

Do I need to somehow 'fix' the changes to convince wince to only use
the first partition ?

(I doublechecked and its the active partition).

Thanks a lot.
