P.S. How did you end up with this weird partition table?
Disk Druid under RedHat 7.3. This machine is a Dell, and _must_ have
the weird, goofy partition in there to boot. The first time I booted
the older (7.3) install tools, I had to do a lot of dancing to make
sure there was always a type 222 partition around for the next boot.
That's why the NetBSD partition starts at 64260; there used to be
another copy of the 222 partition there.
I'm attaching the output of NetBSD's fdisk program, mainly as there
are a lot more extended partitions that aren't showing up. However it
looks like you're right, that some of the partitions are off the end
of the intermediate extended partition.
I might also just try adjusting the length of the outer extended
partition.
Actually, doing that made it work.
Ironically, I was only able to adjust the outer extended partition (the
one in the primary partition table), but that was enough to make things
work.
Thanks!
Take care,
Bill
