I have a Zeos P66 with two IDE drives. Wd0 is a Seagate ST5660A with 1057 cylinders. Wd1 is an older Teac drive with 1282 cylinders and 4 heads. I've been able to get the boot disk to finish; however, when I attempt to reboot off wd0, the FreeBSD boot manager just gives me a ? when I hit "F3" for FreeBSD. In earlier attempts, I've been able to boot, but then I get a "Panic: No Init". Wd0 is composed of a 320 meg dos primary partition, a 2mb OS2 boot manager partition, followed by a 198 meg FreeBSD partition. I have "Large Disk DOS compatibility" turned OFF and LBA mode addressing turned on, and 16-sector transfers on. If I can't boot off the hard disk using the FreeBSD boot manager, I try it again off of the floppy, and find out, to my horror, that my FreeBSD boot flag is OFF, even though I hit 0x80 for on. After the system is restarted from FreeBSD, I often get the message that drive A: is set to the wrong type. FreeBSD also says my Pentium runs at anywhere from 48 to 64 MHZ. Again, strange. Thank You, Bryan Young
