Hello, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.5 in a 13 Gb. Maxtor HD model 91303D6 in a VIA KX133 based AMD K7 750Mhz computer. The HD is in ide0 master, and it has already two primary partitions with Mandrake 8.2, as follows: /boot = /dev/hda1 (32 Mb), / = /dev/hda2 (7168 Mb). The space lefting is without partitions. The problem is that Fdisk (and the FreeBSD kernel, when it boots) report just 2048 Mb in this HD, and if I change the disk geometry in FreeBSD's Fdisk, it doesn't get all the space, it continues reporting just 2048 Mb for the hard drive. Am I doing something wrong?. Thanks in advance, Rodolfo. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
