I think fdisk refers to partitions starting from 1, while the PROM refers to them starting from 0. so partition(8) == /dev/sda9 I had an interesting problem on this note when I was installing debian on my indy yesterday; the volume header partition was too small (2Mb) to install the kernel, so I had to remove all the partitions and make it bigger; problem was after I remove the partitions (including 9 and 11), fdisk thought my hard disk was about 6 Mb. I ended up running: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda then running fdisk in expert mode to create new SGI disklabels etc and it worked fine. vik -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9BS8XezJP+OMWuysRAqKZAKCtZN7+Z6iXH9Jp3fuP0Si2/fgEGQCePXhZ CQdz0dkZMqE1ISGB9oJfFPo= =+U/Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
