Hi Malcolm,

The other computer is not on a network so I will try
to type the outputs.  

# /sbin/fdisk ad0
*****Working on device /dev/ad0/ ******
Parameters extracted are
cyl=787 heads 128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cyl=787 heads=128 sectors/track=63. (8064 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1

The data for partition 1 is
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size
