Hi,
  I have a big problem with installation of your Free BSD 1.1.5. Here is =
the case:
I have a QUANTUM BIGFOOT disk with physical geometry 4994 cyls./16 =
hds./63 sects./512 bytes.
Of course it is with the LBA mode on because of the disk's size. I have =
a MSDOS/Windows 95
partitions and 500Mb free unused space at the end of the disk. When I =
tried the installation
and the procedure found my physical geometry, also the free space. When =
it asked me for the
disk geometry, I gave it my LBA translated geometry - 624 cyls./128 =
hds./63 sects./512 bytes.
And here is the problem - the installation started, and the system said =
that it cannot access=20
128 hds. through the controller, switched to 16 hds. and went in endless =
loop of error messages,
saying that the parameters of the disk are incorrect. Of course I =
rebooted. I've heard good
things about Free BSD, and I would like to have it on my disk, so if you =
have time, please
write me a step-by-step instruction what to do. I can repartition my =
disk with PQMAGIC to
make the 500Mb free space at the very beginning of the disk. Please =
answer me on this e-mail!
