Just pathetic. Hope you actually get a life sometime.
Hi,
I have a 320G Buffalo Ministation external USB drive, which I wish to
partition so that it contains 1 DOS and 1 native OpenBSD (FFS)
partition. Using disklabel, I could created these:
p
OpenBSD area: 0-625142448; size: 625142448; free: 0
#size offset fstype [fsize

I want the USB disk to be also used on Windows XP, so the MSDOS

The problem isn't with disklabel (8). The problem *will* be Windows XP not
being able to recognize the DOS partition. For Windows XP to recognize a
DOS

Also, is there another way to achieve this? (I was unable to create a
MSDOS partition from Windows XP, as it only allows NTFS now).
I'm not sure about all of your question but in the last week I created

The disklabel is written at the start of the disk and you're
overwriting it with the newfs_msdos command. You should fdisk the
disk first, and reserve a separate MBR partition for MSDOS.
See the FAQ.

Thank you all for responses -- I have a better idea now. The only
thing that I noticed was newfs_msdos wipes out the entire disklabel
as well as any fdisk created partitions and gobbles up the entire disk.
I guess what James
