the number, e.g., 1040, is the pid of the fdisk process.
the pc unfortunately is not valid.  it is beyond the end
of the text segment.

	; acid /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/disk/fdisk
	/n/sources/plan9/386/bin/disk/fdisk:386 plan 9 executable
	[...]
	acid: end
	0x00016048

could you send the output of
	; cat /dev/sdC0/ctl
you can get an rc prompt by typing !rc at the installer
prompt.

As a side note I did last partition the drive with Haiku. Its an OS
that is still relatively young. I am going to clear out the partition
map and try again.

It looks like the haiku partition map was confusing it. I used gparted
and created a new one and its ok

I'll take a look. I see if I can get a dump of the Haiku partition
table.

i think this is worth fixing, if you have the time to
take a look off line.  divide-by-zero because of
unexpected input is not acceptable.

[9fans] fdsik suicide while installing

[Bob]

I have a dell inspiron 700m. I can boot the install cd just fine and
everything seems to work out of the box. I select a fossil
fileserver.
When I get to the partdisk task, it shows my harddrive as sdC0. I
select
that and I get

fdisk 1040: suicide:sys:trap: divide error pc=0x00825d4


sdc0 is reported as a Toshiba MK4026GAX, its a 40gb harddrive. I have
tried it with out dma and with, no difference. I have tried manually
running it
and have had the same result. The number (1040) after fdisk changes,
is that
number of the command in rc? i.e. the 1040th command run, but the pc
number
stays the same.

I downloaded the install cd today, if that makes a difference.

Thanks
Bob
