I have seen a few mails concerning this topic, but none quite like my
problem (and none of the solutions offered seemed to work).
I am using netBSD 1.1 (with a recompiled kernel from a friend) on a IIsi
with a 160 MB HD. I partitioned the drive into 4 partitions, ~5MB MacOS,
~25MB swap, ~80MB root&usr, and the remaining I was going to mount as a
volatile user area. The problem is, I can't seem to get it to mount. I
have tried formatting it as every different kind of partition that seemed
likely (user #1, #2 etc..., root&usr, root, unix free etc...), and before
I get flamed, I did run mkfs on each before trying to mount.
I also have tried mounting it as sd0c-sd0g and for sd0c it seems to find
the filesystem, but says it has a bad superblock (I tried alternates, but
same response). fsck can't fix the problem. Do I have a bad disk? Did
I screw something else up?
I realize I can just reformat the two filesystem partitions into one huge
one, but I was going to try to avoid that, since I have a bunch of stuff
configured already...
Thanks in advance.
