Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings all! Installment 3 of the installation from hell! Thank you all for the help thus far! Well after a couple days of "Bad144 Maximum 126 bad blocks per slice" I have mapped the drive around all the bad locations (In retrospect it would have been way easier/better/costeffective to buy a new unit... but hey, reduce reuse recycle...) and tossed in 64 megs of memory. Installation has finally completed successfully, and once I rebooted the box I was greeted by: Boot: dosdev= 80, biodrive = 0,unit = 0, maj 0 Error: C:2502 > 1023 (BIOS limit) Is there a way around this? Weeks like these remind me of trying to get Super Pet (the computer, not the store..) networks running.. cheers! dan dan@sns.org
