- Subject: 386BSD bug: Still no luck with an A5 ``DOS'' partition

- Current situation:
-
- /386bsd 0.1.48 from agate - the 2 IDE disk one.
- Drive 1 is a Seagate ST1102A 80MB IDE wholly devoted to 386BSD.
- Drive 2 is a Seagate ST157A 40MB IDE with 3 `DOS' partitions:
-
- 33M DOS [ I use Winiboot to select DOS/Minix ]
- 3M Minix
- 7M Unused
-
- What I am trying to do:
-
- I want to install a 386BSD partition on drive 2 in the unused third
- partition. Then I will swap drives 1 & 2 over and use the 40M drive
- for DOS, Minix and 386BSD /, and the 80M drive as /usr and swap.
-
- Bug:
-
- [ When I say partition I mean `DOS' partition ]
-
- With partition 3 marked as 00 (unused), I can read from /dev/rwd1d
- and do disklabel -r wd1. I get the information from the first
- absolute sector of drive 2 in this case.
-
- With partition 3 marked as A5 (386BSD), doing anything with rwd1d,
- or disklabel -r wd1, the whole system hangs. The terminal driver
- seems to still be working, as characters such as ^V still work.
- The system must be reset at this stage.
-
- Other information:
-
- Here is my DOS partition table from the 2nd drive, uuencoded. Also
- the information in it as reported by Minix's fdisk. Also included
- is my disklabels for the two drives. The ST1102A has been written
- to drive 1, and I have yet been unable to write the ST157A label
- on drive 2 (see above).
