Hi,

I tried to install FreeBSD 2.1.0 on my Aptiva PC. This is a 1 GB IDE 
drive. Apparently i was successful with installing it as i am able to set 
up accounts, log in create files and save them, etc.

But during installation i noticed that the disk geometry freebsd is using 
is different from that of my disk.I would like to know how i can set up 
freebsd to recognize the same disk geometry as my pc's disk. 

Also i would like to set up ppp/kermit dialup access. What should i do 
for this? Is there any doc that tells how to set this up? For kermit i 
followed the config doc and when i try to dial i get a modem 
initialization failure. 

I have problems installating the sources as i get an "unexpected eof " 
message with whichever part of the sources i try to install.

I am sorry if some of these questions have already been answered,. I have 
already searched the freebsd newsgroup archives before posting my 
question here.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
