I'm setting a dedicated FreeBSD Server. My box is a P2 with a Barracuda HD (ST34371W) controlled by an Adaptec Ultra Wide SCSI (AHA-2940). I started creating a single FreeBSD partition. After the FreeBSD, i got a "Read Error" message when booting from the HD. After inumerous trials to get the OS booting fro the HD, i tried to create a small dos partition and the rest of the disk with a FreeBSD partition plus Booteasy, and it worked! But this is not what I want, I want to use ALL the disk for FreeBSD and no BootEasy. I already tried to tweak the HD geometry in Fdisk, but fdisk tells me that it can't accept a phisical geometry (whick i took from the HD booklet). It needs the SCSI translated geometry. Can anyone help?
