Hi *,
I'm trying to build a new FS on an IDE disk.
All newfs commands end with:
# newfs /dev/rwd1a
..
..
newfs: cg 0: bad magic number
newfs: fsinit1 failed
Here is the disk info:
# disklabel wd1
# /dev/rwd1c:
type: ESDI
disk: ESDI/IDE disk
label: Maxtor 6B250R0
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
commands end with:
# newfs /dev/rwd1a
..
..
newfs: cg 0: bad magic number
newfs: fsinit1 failed
Here is the disk info:
# disklabel wd1
# /dev/rwd1c:
type: ESDI
disk: ESDI/IDE disk
label: Maxtor 6B250R0
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors
Good thing OpenBSD only runs on one platform and one type of computer,
eh?

your partition is not properly offset from the beginning of the disk,
where all the goodies like
Indeed, this test was bad...
But the same occurs with an offset of 63 sectors :(
Same with fdisk:

But I still have the same error at the end of the newfs:
