First the working machine (reports solely 'changing root device to wd0s3a' and continues): ******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=970 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=970 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 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 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)) start 63, size 1048257 (511 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 129/ sector 63/ head 127 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 7,(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX or Advanced UNIX) start 1048320, size 3386880 (1653 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 130/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 549/ sector 63/ head 127 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 4435200, size 3386880 (1653 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 550/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 969/ sector 63/ head 127 The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> # /dev/rwd0s3c: type: ESDI disk: Maxtor 84000A6 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 128 sectors/cylinder: 8064 cylinders: 420 sectors/unit: 3386880 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 64512 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 7) b: 266112 64512 swap # (Cyl. 8 - 40) c: 3386880 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 419) e: 64512 330624 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 41 - 48) f: 2991744 395136 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 49 - 419) Now the one which panics: ******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=790 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=790 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 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB)) start 63, size 208782 (101 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 12/ sector 63/ head 254 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 5,(Extended DOS) start 208845, size 8193150 (4000 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 13/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 522/ sector 63/ head 254 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 8401995, size 4289355 (2094 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 523/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 789/ sector 63/ head 254 The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> # /dev/rwd0s3a: type: ESDI disk: wd0s3 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 267 sectors/unit: 4289355 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 64260 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 3) b: 546210 64260 swap # (Cyl. 4 - 37) c: 4289355 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 266) e: 64260 610470 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 38 - 41) f: 3614625 674730 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 42 - 266) The third one is unfortunately at home, I'll have access to it after approx 6.00PM CEST.
