netters,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 to 2.1 GB SEagate ST32272N.
After finish the installation, the Boot Manager can not boot
the operating system. It displays "F1 BSD" but the kernel don't
boot when I enter F1. it just repeats the same messages
boot...bla..bla..bla
this problem is describing exactly on online hardware FAQ, that the
fdisk doesn't partition the hard disk rightly because it fails
to configure the disk geometry.
so, the question is what is  the disk geometry for seagate ST32272N
baracuda??
(fdisk displays it as 275/255/63 which is fails to boot the kernel).
i search  the archives of freebsd-hardware and scsi , seagate homepage
and find nothing about this problem.
thanks for any help.

engel.
