- I'm having trouble installing 386BSD-0.1 to my system.
-
- The 386BSD tiny floppy boots fine. When I type:
-
- # install -debug
-
- I get the following response:
-
- bios finds: cyl 1001 heads 15 sectors 17
- Partitions:
- offset size type flag
- 0 0 0 0
- 153765 101235 81 0
- 0 0 0 0
- 0 0 0 0
- 0 MB free. You do not have enough free space on your drive
- to install 386 BSD in a new partition.
-
- Yet, I have appr 73 Mb free on my ST1144AT drive. (Partition #2 contains
- my Linux OS :-).
-
- When I prepare a partition of type A5 on my disk and try to install again
- (install -debug) I get:
-
- bios finds: cyl 1001 heads 15 sectors 17
- Partitions:
- offset size type flag
- 17 153748 a5 0
- 153765 101235 81 0
- 0 0 0 0
- 0 0 0 0
- Do you want to install <...> disk drive's 386BSD partition? (y/n) y
- making root size 143055 offset 17
- making swap size 10000 offset 143265
- label written at sector 17
- High level formatting of 386 BSD disk storage:
- ...
- ...
- super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
- 32, ...
- ...
- ...
- ... , 134704, 138816
- newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): No such process
- newfs: /dev/rwd0a: can't rewrite disk label
-
- and the installation fails again.
- Can someone please explain? I also tries the fixit.fs boot floppy and
- used disklabel. Then I get errors about not being able to find/write the
- disk label and I get '/dev/rwd0a: invalid argument' errors.
-
- My system is: 386/33 (unknown chipset)
- 4 Mb core
- no NCP
- ST1144AT (drive 1: 125Mb)
- ST251AT (drive 2: 43Mb)
- SC499 (tape controller)
-
-
- Thanks!
