If you follow the handbook as it is, you should end to something like, |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Neo ~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Disk /dev/sda (SGI disk label): 64 heads, 32 sectors, 8682 cylinders |
| 13 |
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes |

Follow exactly the instructions in |
| 29 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-mips.xml?part=1&chap=4 , |
| 30 |
the section "Getting the SGI Volume Header to just the right size". |
| 31 |
After that I think that you will be fine. Use the dd command to |
| 32 |
delete the partition table, and start again. |
