Hi folks. MacBSD is cool. Just had to get that out of my system. ;-)
Ok, lots of questions:
1) I formatted my drive to have ~60MB (122760 512K blocks) When the
kernel boots df -k says I have 46467K total. Is this normal? I realize
there is some overhead involved withthe filesystem but 15M seem liek too
much ;-)
Drive: Segate 80M 817 cyln 6 head 34 sec/track 512bytes/sec
I ran mkfs with 1 spare sec/track, and 16 cyln/group, 512 bytes/inodes
Are these reasonable?
2) Does disklabel work? Can it be used on the root drive? 'disklabel -r
sd0' lists the label but says it's damaged (no magic number I think) and it
also list some funky numbers for some nonexistent partitions. I tried to
clean it up, but all the the write/edit forms of the command don't seem to
do anything...? Should I even be messing with the label?
3) Is there anyway of getting the Installer not to mount the second macbsd
partition as /usr ? I can change the fstab so that when I boot macbsd it
mounts it on whatever I want, but the installer seems to always mount it on
/usr.
4) What's the difference between booting in single user or not?
5) Can you tell by now that I've never administrated unix before? :-)
System stuff:
MacIIcx
Apple 1024*768 b&w two page screen (it's actually a third party card)
(I do get some funny characters randomly on my screen when I
switch consoles, but a redraw fixes them)
Ethernet A-Series, A-Series (What the latest on ethernet drivers? :-)
one 80M mac drive
one 80M drive with 60M A/UX partition
two serial ports that work! Cool!
(I've used kermit successfully)
Kensington Turbo Mouse (doesn't mess up the adb drivers
- well not most of the time ;-)
I've been using generic #48
(I tried netbsd-current but it list lots of copies of my drive)
