Does anyone know what is happening with this? I'm by no means an expert on this, but I HAVE had similar experiences... there have been two "solutions" I remember off hand: 1) The C/H/S that FreeBSD detected were WRONG. Go into /stand/sysinstall -> Configure -> FDisk -> (proper drive) and compare the geometry listed at the top to the "real" values shown on the drive or in the drive manual. 2) Once or twice, I've had to not only remove ALL slices first, but re-add them in the "proper" order and re-install. I don't think I've had this recently, but that may be that I'm just so used to doing it the same way all the time now. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
