Hi, everyone,

When I was installed FreeBSD 2.1.0-951104-SNAP to my system,
I got error message with boot.flp.

My machine information :
	CPU : 486-DX4/100
	RAM : 64M
	HDD : SEAGATE ST32430N (SCSI ID 0)
	      SEAGATE ST15230N (SCSI ID 1)
	      AHA1542CF
	LAN : 3COM 3C509 Combo

I know, SEAGATE HDD's geometry infomation is below.

		Cyl	Head	Sector	RPM	Capacity
ST32430N	2605	19	82	5411	2.14GB
ST15230N	3974	19	111	5411	4.294GB

But boot.flp's Partition menu reports different geometry information.
So I put correct geometry information by "g" command.
And I do installation procedure by commit.

It has reported warning message as below.

Warning! Unable to swap to /dev/sd0s1b: Device not cpnfigured
This may cause the installation to fail at some point 
if you don't have a lot of memory.

And procedure go on, it report error message as below.

Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/rsd0a!
Command returned status 1

Boot.flp detect sd0 and sd1 correctly when it is begin(Alt-F2 debugging screen).

I was labeled all partition as below.

/	:	128M
swap	:	128M
/var	:	64M
/usr	:	512M
/news	:	1 GB
/home	:	128M
/home/ftp	:	4 GB

Why this situation occurs???
When I just follow as boot.flp's reported geometry,
it's result is same...
I got boot.flp from ftp://ftp.waseda.ac.jp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-951104-SNAP/floppies/boot.flp. 

Is this hardware problem or boot.flp's problem??? ;<
Please help me this situation... ;<
Thank you for your reading...
