Since those are completely unrelated, I'll post a few messages. Apologies for the inconvenience. Relevant Hardware (from probing during first successful boot): One device on SCSI: ncr0 rev 17 int a irq 11 on pci0:4 (ncr0:1:0): "PHILIPS PCA80SC V3-0" type 5 removeable SCSI 2 CD-ROM drive: cd0: CD-ROM, asynchronous Two IDE controllers with one hard disk each: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 612MB (1253952 sectors), 1244 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 at 0x170-0x17f irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): wd2: 2014MB (4124736 sectors), 4092 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S disklabel /dev/wd2 shows: type: unknown disk: label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track; 63 tracks/cylinder: 192 sectors/cylinder: 12096 cylinders: 341 sectors/unit: 4124736 rpm: 3600: interleave: 1 all others 0. 3 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 4124736 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 340) ------- Ummm, why's there only one partition shown? ------- disklable /dev/wd2s1 shows instead: disk: wd2s1 label: flags: nytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 256 sectors/unit: 4124736 rmp: 3600 interleave: 1 all others 0. 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 65535 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4*) b: 151456 65535 swap # (Cyl. 4*- 13*) c: 4124736 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 256*) =====>> ^^^^^^ what?

During installation of wd2 (which is a little bit bigger than 2GB), I got the warning: "Warning: 3936 sector in last cylinder unallocated (2.2.5)" Why? Please apologize if I asked a FAQ: I already posted FBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE does not include Lynx in CD-ROM 1, so I am not able to read the CD-ROM doc right now.
