Greetings, I'm having a slight problem with a 300GB IDE (Maxtor) HDD. Basically, I've run the drive on the system through a complete low-level format and test with the PowerMAX tools, which passed fine. The BIOS recognizes and auto-detects the drive okay as well. However, in trying to install FreeBSD 6.0, it goes through the partition section okay, and then the slice section okay (trying to use a full slice on the drive as /dumpdata), the mount fails, and on the alternate screen it shows newfs failing. Is there a special way to get this drive to work? Does someone have experience with a similar setup that may shed some light my way? I feel like a beginner all over again. : P Regards, Justin
