Hi guys... needing to install freebsd on a machine with one of these drives, however when I go into the novice setup, freebsd gripes about the drive geometry being bad (drive geometry is 8152/10/220) and fills in an odd looking drive geometry of 1115/255/63.... It seems fairly slow when it goes to newfs the partitions though... freebsd seems to install ok, but this machine is going to be a usenet news server, so of course drive speed is of great importantance... what should I do to get freebsd to recognize the drive geometry properly?
