<0> and will that leave the rest as it is? or should I use another program to partition the CF?
<1> no, for DOS type partitions you need fdisk
<1> disklabel is for a 'partition table' inside a BSD filesystem
<0> will that line work to make that partition? If I manage to do this I swear I'm gonna write an Howto
<1> that won't work like that
<1> guessing command parameters at random is no good
<1> http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?fdisk++NetBSD-current
<1> there, you can read the manual online
<0> TGEN: I'm reading the man pages and I'm trying to make sense of them
<1> Prophet_S: start fdisk -u /dev/wd0
<0> where could I look to understand about sectors?
<0> I want my partition to be of 400mb starting after about 80mb
<0> is it possible to do that?
<2> i'd think so
<0> would you have any suggestions as to how to do tha?
<0> that*
<0> MadScribe: I'm at the point where it asks for sysid and start
<0> sysid I put the default 6
<0> I'm not too sure about the start though
<0> is there any kind of howto apart from the man pages thatr could help me understand more about fdisk?
<2> gonna ask the obvious, have you googled?
<2> seems no one here is an expert unfourtunatelyl
<2> -l
<2> that includes myself
<0> yes I've been looking around google quite a bit. I found bits of info here and there but nothing complete unfortunately
<0> I think I managed to do something but it would delete the files I have on my CF card
<3> there are issues in the US with a backbone provider ?
<0> I created the partition, created a dos one of 80MB and a netbsd one of 416MB then when I get to the end where it asks me if I want to write the new partition table and I type 'y' or 'yes' it just doesn't :-|
<0> it just goes back to the prompt!
<0> what's that about?
<0> is it because I need to do disklabel?
<4> god DAMN it takes a long time to get a security advisory out
<0> it's 'w' :-|
<4> presumably make obj, make, make install in src/usr.sbin/bind and src/dist/bind
<0> nope, that's for linux
<5> Yes
<5> or use pkgsrc
<4> i dont want bitrotted versions left around
<5> rebuild it then
<4> libresolv and ****
<6> what's the problem with fdisk?
<0> I'm trying to create a MSDOS partition and a NetBSD one on my CF card
<0> after doing fdisk -u /dev/wd0 and creating the partitons I write the partition table
<0> but it doesn't seem like anything has changed
<4> newfs_msdos yo
<6> is fdisk an i386-only?
<7> no
<6> where is it?
<7> [ascent@ascent /home/ascent]$ which fdisk
<7> /sbin/fdisk
<7> on amd64-2.0
<6> # /sbin/fdisk
<6> ksh: /sbin/fdisk: not found
<7> never than 2.0?
<7> it may have been removed ?
<6> 3.0
<7> hmm
<6> sparc64
<7> ah
<7> sparc doesn't have fdisk iirc
<6> okay
<8> disklabel!
<5> fdisk is generally a "DOS" thing
<6> yeah
<8> appledos?
<0> no it's not a dos thing
<5> i386 stuff
<6> I have an fdisk on solaris
<0> i'm using it on a sh3
<0> with netbsd-hpcsh
<6> Prophet_S- you set the partitions with fdisk, and then disklabel the netbsd part
<9> which probably uses VFAT formatted media? :)
<0> mspo: yes and then newfs the netbsd
<6> Prophet_S- so if you want to have a DOS partition, you just need to leave space somewhere
<10> 'evening
<0> mspo: I created the space at the beginning of the CF
<6> Prophet_S- okay
<0> mspo: and left that as an msdos partition
<6> so what's the problem? :)
<0> mspo: I can mount the netbsd partition but not the msdos one
<0> i get invalid argument
<6> mount_msdos has its own args
<0> mount -t msdos /dev/wd0a /mnt/Dos
<6> and you get an error?
<6> did you try mount_msdos directly?
<6> (try mount -v or -vv, also)
<0> mspo: do I try -vt or just -v?
<6> mount -v -t msdos
<0> Invalid argument
<6> try mount_msdos
<10> Prophet_S: do you got "bad superblock" message?
<6> agc@ gave me the update on pkgsrc.org
<11> and?
<6> apparently, his registrar is bad
<6> clicknames.net
<6> he has been trying to transfer then to TNF, but they don't do it
<6> maybe they were hacked by bulkregister or are in cahoots
<0> mount_msdos mi da le opzioni
<6> Prophet_S- very weird!
<0> mspo: sorry guys
<0> mount_msdos prints out the various options
<6> do you have to label the msdos partition?
<6> I haven't dual-booted anything is years and years
<10> Prophet_S: excuse me for silly question, but are you sure wd0a is an MS-DOS partition?
<6> that's what I mean
<6> it probably isn't
<2> mspo: apparently canceling my dsl will cost me around $400
<6> MadScribe- you're under contract?
<2> ding
<2> i forgot
<6> well
<2> i just started laughing
<2> it's still cheaper to cancel
<6> I guess you could transfer it
<6> or maybe you could convince your old roomate to keep paying
<2> do you want to host a site?
<2> lol
<6> maybe you can downgrade it to cheaper service until the contract runs out
<2> he uses charter, had a good package deal
<6> I already host two sites :)
<2> i just thought you'd find that amusing
<2> and my speed won't be available where i'm at until january
<2> (6)
<6> you mean at my house?
<2> there has to be a way to exploit that loophole
<2> yah
<6> it's getting higher speed?
<6> how'd you find that out? :)
<2> lower
<6> oh, the dsl
<2> and i believe you are getting less than 6 anyway, they just started offering 5 up here
<2> charter i mean
<6> I think I only get 3
<0> it is
<2> i was actually getting 6400
<2> on avg that is
<6> Prophet_S- try ktrace and mail your output to -users or your port's list
<0> disklabel returns wd0a and wd0c and wd0d
<6> aren't c and d reserved?
<0> c is
<0> d is my ffs
<6> oh
<0> a and b should be dos
<6> okay
<0> any idea why it won't work? Invalid argument
<6> when you do a disklabel, you see a and b as dos fstype?
<10> Prophet_S: have you tried "mbrlabel wd0" ?
<0> just 'a'
<6> and you're trying to mount /dev/wd0a /mnt/Dos ?
