Hi, I have installed FreeBSD in a partion that is beyond cylinder 1024. If I select 'Install Boot Manager" after fdisk, and then boot from the hard disk, clicking F4 (my freebsd is on slice 4) does nothing. If I select Standard MBR, I get an error saying that my root partion is beyond cylinder 1024. So, how does it work?? While installing I did not get an option to create a floppy disk of some sort that will let me boot from the /dev/wd0s4a. Is it possible to do at all? (I have an 20Gb IDE disk, FreeBSD 3.3-release) Thanks, Vladislav To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
