I believe I got a permission denied error when trying in multi user mode. I assumed it was due to secure level. I just tried it again now and it asked me twice for confirmation and when I did reported: fdisk: Class not found fdisk: Failed to write sector zero at this point none of the issues I reported in the bug occur. As for disks, I have tried on two separate systems. One system was created just for this test in vmware and used the .iso installer and accepted the default partitioning and slicing offered by the installer. I assume there's nothing special about it: ******* Working on device /dev/da0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1044 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1044 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 16771797 (8189 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> > Andriy Gapon -- Tim Newsham | www.thenewsh.com/~newsham | thenewsh.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
