Message number: 950413051953 75452.2021 FHQ33-1 Sent at: 01:19 EDT 13-Apr-95 Subject: Installing FreeBSD 2 on 2.9 Gigabytes ST43400N I am trying to install FreeBSD on this 2.9 Gigabytes SCSI drive. MSDOS occupies the first 650 Megabytes, OS2 the next 200 Megs and the rest assigned to BSD. The root is assigned next as 50 Megs, followed by SWAP (128Megs) and the rest for /usr. I keep getting FATAL error code 5888. When I change the geometry from the mapped geometry to DISK specs, the load continues but when I am supposed to reset and boot again to complete the installation, the boot manager just loops whether I chose BSD, MSDOS or OS2. Plus when I boot from floppy and use MSDOS fdisk, it can not read the fdisk table. I think the problem is that the mapping to handle > 1 Gigabyte disk in SCSI is not being handle correctly. Would appreciate all help I can get. PS: I tried using a smaller SCSI drive and it installed correctly. But I sure would like to just use the large disk I just bought for this purpose. How do I join your group to work on this problem if no one else is interested in it? Thanks..Regner
