They have 26353 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors (so sayeth the label anyway) FreeBSD thinks they have 16383 cylinders (so does the BIOS when I do autodetect). What can I do? :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
