I found by pressing alt-f2 I could get to a shell with a prompt of ~#
I entered fdisk and discovered it recognized the command. I believe, since I am using SCSI that I must format /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, but when I enter fdisk /dev/sda (or sdb) it replies with “Unable to open device /dev/sda”. I also tried with /dev/sda1, since that should be the first partition on sda, with the same result. Is there another command that releases the disk for formatting?
Are there any good primers on using FDISK? Everything I read says this is for EXPERTS ONLY, so what am I doing here? Is there a better way to set up these partitions?
Jim
