I dont get as far in the boot up process to do a
dmesg.
I get into a looping error msg...(the oly way out
is a re-boot).
The msg is something like:
(#md/2) is 513 (ssize is 512)
"""I think that this means that the o.s.'s
starting block is past 512 ? """ and that I need
to re-partition? I currently have 1st GB of HD
as win98 and next partition is 3GB w/ fbsd 2.2.1
any ideas?....I have switched to using the fdc
controller on the mother board.
I will try it again...(in a little bit)...as soon
as I fini with reading my email.
thanx in advance $bill
