Faules" Subject: Adaptec 2940UW + Quantum Atlas XP32150W Support Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to install FreeBSD for the first time and am having trouble with the installation. I have a Pentium 133Mhz system with 32MB of RAM, and an IDE CDROM Drive + Adaptec 2940UW + Quantum Atlas XP32150W. FreeBSD 2.1 (walnut creek CDROM) for software. When i do the install, everything works fine, until i go to boot the system from the Hard Drive, at which point i get an F? which will take no input. Reading the Running FreeBSD book, a suggestion is made that the disk geometry is not correct, and that i need to change it in the FDisk program. A call to quantum gave me the following values for cyl/hd/sect (3852/10/109) The Fdisk program refuses to take these values, and insists on replacing it with 2050/64/32. Finally, my questions. Is the Adaptec 2940UW correctly supported by 2.1? Are the cyl/hd/sect values that i have correct? Has anyone made this combo work? Any and all help will be appreciated.
