I created a DOS partition on all drives, then in sysinstall deleted the DOS
partition and created the FreeBSD partitions. I'm getting the same warning
messages with slightly different numbers on the calculated sectors per
cylinders and the unallocated being on the Conner, Maxtor 535 and Maxtor 1.2.
My problem is after I go through the install (bin/manpages), I reboot the
system and can't mount the root filesystem, so the system goes into panic
mode. I also get the prompt:
F1..... BSD
F?
Any other suggestions?
