Hi,
I've tried to install netbsd using "reinstall sets" but netbsd
doesn't recognise the partitions that I created with pdisk:
=====
Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/disk1'
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS 204800 @ 64 (100.0M)
3: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root 204800 @ 204864 (100.0M)
4: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 usr 6291456 @ 409664 ( 3.0G)
5: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 1739872 @ 6701120 (849.5M)
Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=8440992 (4.0G)
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
====
I used newfs to format ufs partitions.
For what I've read only netbsd current can read ufs partitions. There
is other way to fix this? Should I use other way to format netbsd
partitions?
Thanks very much,
Nuno Teixeira
