I get the following meassage: WARNING: a geometry of 77545/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect uing a more likely geometry. If this geometry is incorrect or you are unshure wether or not it`s correct, please consult the hardware guide in the documentation submenu or use the geaometry command to change it now. There seems to be a problem with my harddisk but i am not shure what it is. I also get the following message when i try to fetch my distributions from cdrom. "write failurer on transfer" maybe someone can help me figuring out the problem is. Installing freebsd 5.5 goes wthout a problem. Thanks, Justin.
