Hmmm. Odd. That's worked for me on FreeBSD-4.11, 6.1, 7.2, and 8.1 (both
i386 and amd64).
I "zeroed" the thumb drive as you suggested, but got the same result from
`echo "p 2 0x0c * *" | fdisk -f - /dev/da0` as before.
BTW, that wiping of the thumb drive took over 14 hours! I should have
thought to specify a large block size.
What's the output of:
uname -spr
FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE i386
Also, after completing the dd(1) command, what's the output of:
fdisk -p /dev/da5
It should look something like this:
# /dev/da5
g c31 h64 s32
p 1 0x17 1 64259
a 1
Here's a sequence of events, after dd'ing the Druid iso:
tripel# fdisk -p /dev/da0
# /dev/da0
g c1945 h255 s63
p 1 0x17 1 64259
a 1
tripel# echo "p 2 0x0c * *" | fdisk -f - /dev/da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
fdisk: Class not found
tripel# fdisk -p /dev/da0
# /dev/da0
g c1945 h255 s63
p 1 0x17 1 64259
a 1
p 2 0x0c 64260 31182165
Does this mean the second fdisk succeeded, despite what looked like an
error?
Something you might also want to try is zapping the disk (wiping all
contents) prior to trying again:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da5
