Well,
Everything is now installed on the external disk, and I'm trying to
start using the internal disks however I'm not having alot of luck..
The kernel from dusers is installed, and the internal disks are reported
as /dev/sd{a,b,c} - when I try and pdisk /dev/sda to partition it,
everything works fine, however when I try and write the partition it
complains:
[[nikm@bigmac /]# pdisk /dev/sda
pdisk: No valid block 1 on '/dev/sda'
Edit /dev/sda -
Command (? for help): i
Command (? for help): p
Partition map (with 1 byte blocks) on '/dev/sda'
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Free Extra 1073741761 @ 64 (1024.0M)
Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=1073741825 (512.0G)
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
Command (? for help): w
Writing the map destroys what was there before. Is that okay? [n/y]: y
pdisk: Unable to write block 1 (Bad file number)
pdisk: Unable to write block 2 (Bad file number)
pdisk: Re-read of partition table failed (Device or resource busy)
Reboot your system to ensure the partition table is updated.
Command (? for help): q
[[nikm@bigmac /]#
the size reported is also wrong..
