Would somebody explain to me how to overcome all this problems I am having with installation of the BSD 2.0. My hardware is: HD 2100 cylinders 16 heads 63 sectors max capacity 1034 MB Dos needs LBA mapping ON to be able to overcome 1023 cylinders limit. If I turn the LBA mapping OFF in CMOS setup DOS and NT 3.5 will only recognize HD as 504 MB size. UNIX will work with full 1034 MB size. Right now I am running two operating systems: DOS / UNIX. NT will not acknowledge the rest of unformeted partition 400 MB. On the top of this I have IDE CDROM which will not work with BSD 2.0 so I can't download files from CDROM. In the same tone I can't mount dos partition under UNIX. I tried mounting through the menu driven installation utility and it didn't work and I tried by command line (mount msdos -t /dev/wd0e /dos) and system would report that directory doesn't exist. One more thing, for some reason, Unix will recognize the dos as the system installed on the HD and it will dedicate E partition to it instead of H: I have 3com (3c509) adapter for the net conectivity. Does 3com have drivers for the bsd 2.0. I tied running ftp and it seems that computer would not connect to the host machine. (it can't resolve the host name - I did supply the right DNS name server and IP addresses) // Sasha Kacanski Email: Phone: (313) 763-2453 sasha.kacanski@med.umich.edu sashak@med.umich.edu Fax: (313) 763-3784 Address:4709/MSII Human Genetics UM
