Hi,

I want to install fbsd 3.2 again on my system.
However, i cant anymore....
Sysinstall crashes and so the installation.
When i am in bsd 3.2 (i have it installed now, but want to do it
again,....) and i run /stand/sysinstall i get these messages and then all
the shells crash:

Jul 15 19:05:43 Mipam /kernel: wd3: can't handle 65535 heads from
partition table (truncating to 16)
Jul 15 19:05:43 Mipam /kernel: wd3: can't handle 65535 heads from

reading fsbn 0
Jul 15 19:05:43 Mipam /kernel: wd3: error reading primary partition table

After this i cant kill sysinstall anymore.... So, i got a problem now, i
cant begin from th start again to install fbsd again on different slices
cause sysinstall crashes in bsd itself and also from the boot disks.
I dont know what to do anymore, and what is wd3?????
I only have wd0 and wd1, i have two harddisks from WD.
One of 2.5 gig and the second of 8.4 gig.
Can anyone tell me what can be done? Cause i have lost it here, tryed many
things, but i dont like it.
Sincerely,

Reinoud.
