Check the BIOS settings, and during FreeBSD install, where you can setup the harddisk layout, the top line on your screen will show the harddisk geometry that FreeBSD has self- detected, and you can change it to the BIOS-values. If this does not help, please give more details of your computer. Harry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
