Hi hackers, tryin' to install 4.11 or 5.x on a Dell box with a Perc 3/Di Raid controller (with 5x 300GB scsis). I get 'invalid geometry' when running sysinstall/fdisk on the 'disk', the geometry presented being: 145815 cyl / 255 heads / 63 sectors I tried to press 'A' for allocate the whole disk, and after several more warnings it did that, but now the 'free' space in the list has a big minus value as 'Offset'. Is that a problem? What should I do in order to get fbsd on this box? Change geometry? Any other hacks/workarounds? Thanks, bogdan
