The geometry is 2100 cyl, 16 heads and 63 sectors, and translated to 525 cyl, 64 heads and 63 sectors. FreeBSD is saying that it can not handle 64 heads and restore default value (16). When newfs'ing first partition, there are a lot of errors displayed in the primary screen: timeouts. wdstart: timeout waiting to give command writing fsbn 71679 ... Thanks for any help. -------- -------- Philippe Charnier charnier@lirmm.fr LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34392 Montpellier cedex 5 -- France ------------------------------------------------------------------------
