How do I install 950412-SNAP on a system with a WD1007V ESDI controller and 2 drives: Maxtor XT4380E (320M) and Maxtor XT4760E (630M)? It is very annoying that the driver gets the true disk geometries directly from the ESDI controller and use them instead of the translated ones. It also ignores the spare sector mapping, so it does not help, even if I reformat my drives. Anyway, I did fdisk, added the translated geometry and was able to complete the installation from the boot and cpio floppies onto the first drive. Upon reboot, the kernel went up to the npx16 ... messages, then printed out a message about wrong size on partition d of wd1, which does not have a freebsd partition. It then panicked, and rebooted. Appreciate any helps, comments or suggestions. Thanks. Bao -- Bao Chau Ha (bao@saigon.async.com) Nuclear chemical engineer by day, Linux hacker by night and weekends.
