We recently got a Quantum Fireball 3.1G IDE HD, and are trying to get Win 95 and FreeBSD to dual boot. The drive info is: wd0: QUANTUM FIREBALL TM3200A 3067M 6281856 sectors 6232c/16h/63s 512b/sec Since you can't boot from a partition crossing the 1024 cylinder limit, we made a 400M FAT partition at the beginning, and then a 50M FreeBSD partiton to be used as /. After installing FreeBSD (2.2.2) on the drive, it won't boot FreeBSD from wd0s2. Hitting F2 at the bootloader prompt causes nothing to happen, except the prompt changes to "F?". This drive is replacing a WD 3.1G IDE drive which worked perfectly in the same computer and configuration (until it died). Any ideas? Brian
