Has anyone else had trouble with this particular disk? (WD Cavier 21000: 1.04 Gb, 2100 cyl, 16 hd, 63 sec, IDE. Host is Cyrix 486DX2-80, ISA IDE card, VGA display adapter and NE2000 network card. Nothing fancy... After answering all the questions correctly, "commiting", the machine hangs trying to create the root filesystem on /dev/rwd0a. Disk lite on, HUNG.... LBA is turned off in the BIOS, if that matters. I tried changing the disk geometry (G command) to 1024/16/63, but the block seems not to be recomputed for the A (use all disk) command, so I'm left with the 1GB's worth of space. rebooting a DOS system, FDISK shows that the MBR and partition table was written by FreeBSD. I'm doing all this with 2.1.0-RELEASE, but also verified with 2.0.5-061295 SNAP kernel-on-floppy. Assistance much appreciated, always some learning. Thanks in advance. best regards/bob
