Hardware: mVAX-II, 13 Mb, 2 * Wren IV and a Wren V on Emulex controller emulating RA80. I'm converting a mVAX-II from Ultrix 3.1 to 4.3BSD/Mach. 4.3 is now running but only on ra0a (or if I dd(1) ra0 over to ra1 I can boot from there). If I dd ra0 to ra1 I can fsck and mount ra1a, but no other partition. I don't have Ulrtrix' chpt(8), and my 586663-sectors RA80 isn't in the 4.3 kernel. Under Ultrix I would have made partitions on ra1 (or even on ra0 if I kept my head cool) with chpt(8), constructed entries in /etc/disktab based on the partitions and made filesystems on them. The Wren V is blank. There is an entry in /etc/disktab called ra80wrenv that will suite this disk. How do I get filesystem written to it, when newfs (mkfs that is) says write-error. The disk is OK, I can dd ra0 to it and boot from it. Note - since I only can access ra[01]a I can't read in the sources (but I do have them on-line elsewhere). How do I 0) do this on 4.3 ? 1) Read the partition table from the disk (If it's there) ? 2) Construct one ? -- //// Tage Stabell-Kuloe |e-mail : tage@staff.cs.uit.no //// ///Dept. of Computer Science, University|Official : postmaster@cs.uit.no /// //of Tromsoe, N-9000 TROMSOE, NORWAY |Phone/Fax: +47-83-44053/44580 // / "'oe' is '\o{}' in TeX" |#include : <disclaimer.std> /
