I recently did an install and everything worked fine except when I went to
run Partition Magic 3.0, it gave me error #110, which basically says that
the file tables don't match up to what is on the disk.
The way I configured my computer is the following:
Computer = Pentium 233 MMX
C drive = 1.2 Gb
the first 800 Mb were a dual booting Win95/NT partition
the next 398Mb were used for FreeBsd
the last 2Mb were going to be used with Partition Magic's Boot Manager
D drive - 1Gb
used all as an extended partition for Windows
I never got the boot manager installed becasue of the above problem.
After this happened, I perused the web site and found a few articles that
made mention that the root partition needs to be withing the first 1024
cylindars on an IDE drive. Now, I know this was a limitation with older
BIOS that could not recoginze past that without a drive overlay. But my
question is, is this still true for FreeBSD even with a newer BIOS? If so,
is that what the problem with Partition Magic was?
Thank you very much!!
