Sir,
I'm having trouble installing FreeBSD as the boot floppy doesn't even
recognise my harddisc. The strange parts being:
1/ linux detects my harddisc fine
2/ If I type (after -c option) "attach wdc0" it spins my harddisc
and reports the right options:
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <SAMSUNG SHD-3122A (APOLLO)>
wd0: 240MB (491925 sectors, 937 cyls, 15 head, 35 S/T, 512 B/S
attach returned status of 0x1
I copied this of a screen, maybe there's some typos in there
3/ My computer at home, who coincidentally has the same harddisc, next to
the primary harddisc recognises the both fine.
I think my problem is that I don't know where/how to find out the parameters
like iomem, iosize etc. and which one to set in the first place.
Actually I was planning on comparing FreeBSD with linux, so perhaps there's
a linux command to supply the neccesary stats to me..
thank you for your time
