I can't delete 2 linux partitions from a drive using disklabel.
No matter what /dev/ad0 slices I try to edit, linux partitions don't show
up, but fdisk thinks differently. I can easily delete and recreate the
first 2 partitions as slices 1 and 2, but can't get rid of the other 2.
Thanx in advance.
below is fdisk output for /dev/ad0
data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 40949622 (19994 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 40949685, size 2040255 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 131,(Linux filesystem)
start 42989940, size 33206355 (16214 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 130,(Linux swap or Solaris x86)
start 76196295, size 1975995 (964 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63

AFAIK you cannot delete Linux partitions using disklabel. Disklabel is only for
editing the slices _inside_ the FreeBSD partitions.
You must delete the partitions using fdisk (which i have never before used).
I think it's easier using Linux fdisk (or /stand/sysinstall)
