[comp.os.minix] Minix 1.2 Fdisk

jeff@questar.QUESTAR.MN.ORG (Jeff Holmes) (02/22/89)

	This is probably a pretty stupid thing to be asking, but
	most of my experience is not on PC's.

	I'm having trouble getting the concept behind Minix 1.2
	fdisk. (I do NOT have a multi-partition fdisk with my
	DOS).

	I want to have 2 partitions on my 20 mg Seagate ST-225
	one for /usr and one to mount on /tmp so I can get
	patch to work for upgrading to 1.3.  For some reason
	I can't run fdisk /dev/hd2.  I get "Cannot read boot
	sector".  I can fdisk /dev/hd0 and /dev/hd1 but not
	any other partitions.

	#1:	If I do fdisk /dev/hd0 what should the parameters be?
		(I know that /dev/hd0 represents the whole disk but
		 I don't quite understand what this means to Minix).

	#2:     What should hd1 and hd2 look like?

	Thanks for any help.
