I am trying to set up my NetBSD 1.1B system up so I can mount my DOS
partitions, but every time I try, I get a panic, specifically:
panic: allocbuf: buffer larger than MAXBSIZE requested
I have 2 drives, an EIDE drive devoted to Windoze 95, and a SCSI disk for
NetBSD. Here is my fdisk output:
******* Working on device /dev/rwd0d *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=2112 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=528 heads=64 sectors/track=63 (4032 sectors/cylinder)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 6 (Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
start 63, size 1044225 (509 MB), flag 80
beg: cylinder 0, head 1, sector 1
end: cylinder 258, head 63, sector 63
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 5 (Extended DOS)
start 1044288, size 1080576 (527 MB), flag 0
beg: cylinder 259, head 0, sector 1
end: cylinder 526, head 63, sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
and my edited disklabel:
6 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 40320 1064448 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 1056 - 1095)
b: 129024 1104768 swap # (Cyl. 1096 - 1223)
c: 1064448 1064448 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 1056 - 2111)
d: 2128896 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 2111)
e: 895104 1233792 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 1224 - 2111)
f: 1044225 63 MSDOS # (Cyl. 0*- 1035*)
disklabel: warning, DOS partition table with no valid NetBSD partition
^^^ (should I be worried about the disklabel warning?)
Any ideas how to get this working? There is obviously something wrong
with my wd0f size, perhaps related to the Primary & Extended DOS
partitions. I tried a size of 2128896, but disklabel wouldn't allow that
(it extended past the end of the drive, probably due to the 63 offset).
Also, on a totally unrelated note, is there any way to adjust the keyboard
repeat rate, for the pccons console driver and under X? I looked at
/sys/arch/i386/isa/pccons.c, and the only thing that I noticed was
'typematic_rate', but there were no notes and no idea of the units.
Thanks!
