Hi all,
I've recently installed i386/1.3.3 and wanted to add another IDE disk.
Should be easy enough.
When I try to edit the disklabel ("disklabel -i wd1"), it warns me
that I should run disklabel -r to write an initial label.
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 4120641 63 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0*- 1021*)
partition> W
Label disk [n]? y
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: No disk label on disk;
use "disklabel -r" to install initial label
Label not written
So I run "disklabel -r wd1"...
# disklabel -r wd1
disklabel: no disk label
I guess I am missing something _really_ simple, but I have no idea
what it is...
Any advice would be appreciated.
