Keywords: version 1.2, XT Message-ID: <283@ge1cbx.UUCP> Date: 2 Dec 88 15:38:37 GMT Organization: Quotron Systems Inc., Los Angeles Lines: 18 the fdisk on minix 1.2 seems to be bugged in that the partition numbers it reports is incorrect, and does not correspond to /dev/hd* or anything else. Needless to say, this situation causes stomping on other partitions. Viva la backups! What finally worked is allocating the minix partition with the minix fdisk, then using dos fdisk to find out the real partition number, then going back to minix.... Has anyone experienced this problem? (10mhz ARC XT, ST225 hd) Thanks Terry Lee uunet!janus!merlin!terry
