Hi all, Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I was trying to bring up NetBSD on an x201 with a brand new 500GB SSD and got this message during installation:
installboot: Old BPB too big, use -f (may invalidate file system) I selected to use the whole drive for NetBSD, update the boot blocks, and did manual partitioning on the drive using up all the space (until NetBSD disk partitioning tool reported 0 Mb free space). Is this because there are no bootblocks on the drive to begin with and I allocated all disk space to NetBSD partitions? Should I drop into a shell and: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<my_drive> bs=1024k count=1 and then leave some free space (1Mb) on the drive (not allocate all space to partitions)? thanks in advance for any pointers... cheers alex p.s I did drop into the shell and issued the command with -f, completed the installation, but at reboot it just told me no bootable OS exists.
