Thanks. I will try the gdisk method to clear the gpt table.
I tried using the fdisk command with the NetBSD installer, but that couldn't see my disk either.
I used RIP Linux to allow gdisk to perform the expert command "z". Then I wiped out the gpt, but not the MBR. Rebooted the NetBSD 64 bit 7.0.2 installation disk, and voila - still cannot identify wd0.
For the heck of it, I downloaded the just released rc of DragonflyBSD. I am writing this using that system, which worked OK (on the disk that NetBSD can't identify)
I am about to give up on NetBSD. Why oh why is it so difficult to install?
I was hoping to test it to see if performance wise it beats FreeBSD or OpenBSD. As well as using less ram.
