After installing FreeBSD 6.1, I get the error message =91Unable to load kernel=92 and it goes to an OK prompt. I suspect the problem is in the geometry, when installing I get the message =92Geometry of 238316/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry=92. And appears to use 14946/255/63. However the BIOS shows 58853/16/255, but attempting to use this produces the same error message. The system has a 200Gb hard disk, all but the last 1.5Gb is Windows XP, and it is the last 1.5Gb I have tried to install FreeBSD. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. =20 Brian Levie --=20 No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
