Hi! I tryed to install FreeBSD on a IBM SCSI DDYS-T36950N SCSI U160 disk. Of course the installation works but the disk won't boot. Any other SCSI disk can boot, I Tryed to make the installation on a Quantum Atlas 9GB, and it booted after the installation. The IBM disk works perfectly only just it won't boot. The disk gemoetry is 35003cyl/64 heads/32 sectors, and always the first 16KB of the disk are set as UNUSED by the disk label editor, I do not know if it is related to the fact that the disk won't boot, anyway FreeBSD leaves the first 32 blocks empty when I Tell to use the entire disk, while on the Quantum it uses the entire disk really. The disk is attached to an ADAPTEC 2940U2W scsi board. Anyone have some hint to solve my boot problem? thanks Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
