Try fdisk from the command prompt. You can specify CHS begin and end addresses, which fdisk will actually use.

So I used those CHS values to enforce things. Worked then. Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
