Dear friends,
i am trying to get 3.7 installed on my Dell Precision Workstation 370.
What is getting me nervous is that depend on how i organize my
partition i can not boot it.
I have installed it perfectly with the following configuration for my partition:
# /dev/rwd0c:
type: ESDI
disk: ESDI/IDE disk
label: Maxtor 6Y080M0
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 16
sectors/cylinder: 1008
cylinders: 16383
total sectors: 156250000
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # microseconds
drivedata: 0
16 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 47577600 107864064 4.2BSD 2048 16384 328 # Cyl 107008 -154207
b: 808336 155441664 swap # Cyl 154208 -155009*
c: 156250000 0 unused 0 0 # Cyl 0 -155009*
i: 107864001 63 unknown # Cyl 0*-107007
And for slices:
Disk: wd0 geometry: 9726/255/63 [156248190 Sectors]
Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55
Starting Ending LBA Info:
#: id C H S - C H S [ start: size ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0: 07 0 1 1 - 6714 57 63 [ 63: 107864001 ] HPFS/QNX/AUX
*1: A6 6714 58 1 - 9726 28 46 [ 107864064: 48385936 ] OpenBSD
2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused
3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0: 0 ] unused
With the organization above it goes ok, but ...
Keeping the same configuration for slices and sparing more partitions
for /home, /var, /tmp, /usr/X11R6, /usr/local i cannot boot with the
ERR R.
Did anybody faced such a situation? Realize the problem only happen
with a given configuration for partitions.
Please, i desperating to get 3.7 running in my workstation. If you
could provide a hint, it would be good.
Thanks in advance.
