I've been trying to replace an Adaptec 1542B in my P5-90 PCI system with either a BT946C or NCR810 PCI controller. Trying to install SNAP 950412, the NCR810 controller is recognized and the whole install goes without a hitch. However, when it comes time to do the boot from the hard drive, I either get: 1) hangs, if using FDISK /mbr 2) BootManager just repeats its F? each time I press a key. The drive, Fujitsu M2664ESA, was detected by the FreeBSD install as 1 head, 63 sectors, and ~300000 or so cylinders. I changed the geometry tp 32 heads, 64 sectors and the appropriate number of cylinders. Lastly, I kept the entire FreeBSD below cylinder 1024. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian Litzinger brian@easynet.com
