Hey folks,

=20

So what's the word on AHCI and bios drive geometry? I'm having a real
pain of a time trying to get some 750gb sata drives running on my
FreeBSD7 box in AHCI mode. It doesn't seem to matter what disk geometry
I suggest to sysinstall, something complains of an invalid disk upon
booting it.

Actually, in AHCI mode the bios screen doesn't report any information on
drive geometry, so all bets appear to be off in giving sysinstall the
correct figures.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Joe
