Can't remember exactly if this was vinum-specific or went from somewhere else. can't either remember the disk and block size i used.. But i think some signed int limited my block size choice. If this may help, try bigger blocks. By the way, what is "this error" ? :) On Wed, Sep 20, 2000 at 04:43:58PM +0000, Gustavo Vieira Goncalves Coelho Rios wrote: > Dear gentleman, > > i amgetting crazy since i cannot install my freebsd over a 15GB ide > disk! > I am sure i have seen messages in the questions mailing list about that, > but i could not find than from search web interface. > > Since, i would be glad if you could help getting this error out off. > > Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message -- Kalou. ldiq t0, 0xbeeffedadeadbabe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
