Hi,
Is mac-fdisk a mount command or is it a way to used fdisk under
Yellow Dog on a Mac?
Generally speaking you mount *partitions* so it would be
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/firewire-1
Under normal linux you could do
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
and get a listing of partitions on sdb. You might try to find the
equivalent for Yellow Dog I suppose.
I run 4 external 1394 drives on x86 so I can help out if you get a
better response from one of these command ideas.
Good luck,
Mark
Hello,
Sorry for a slight misunderstanding: I mentioned Yellow Dog just to
indicate that it had given confirmation that the 1394 drive is well
alive, and that its address is /dev/sdb.
mac-fdisk is the command that is prescribed in the Universal-2005.0-ppc
handbook. It appears to be a Gentoo variant of pdisk or fdisk.
Actually the command mac-fdisk /dev/hda (and then P) prints the map of
the iMac hard disk, and I could go on from there to install Gentoo. But
I would prefer to keep my Yellow Dog in place and to put Gentoo on the
1394 drive, and that is where I have a difficulty.
I would have thought that the same command applied to /dev/sdb would
open it, but it replies "no medium found" (not "no such file" however).
That is my problem. Any ideas?
Cheers.
Charles
