Initializing Hard Drive

I have a second hard drive in my system that I want to initialize to use
with QNX. I have created a a QNZ partition (type 79) using fdisk. Now,
I am trying to initialize it using dinit:

dinit -h /dev/hd1

but I get:

DINIT: You have specified the ‘raw’ disk, not a partition:
continue (y/n) ?

I don’t think this is what I want. Or is it?

Nope…

you probably need to:

mount -e /dev/hd1

to re-read the partition table.

You should now have:

/dev/hd1t79

Then:

dinit -h /dev/hd1t79
