McGovern" Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Well, I just tried a FreeBSD 2.0.5 Install using the "whole disk" when fdisking. I get "Missing Operating system" when trying to boot (booting from install floppy and selecting sd(0,a)/kernel works fine. This is an adaptec 1542CF on two seagate 3GB drives. I did notice a small "unused" partition before and after the FreeBSD one. I can't edit or delete them in any way shape or form. I've double checked to make sure there is no disk translation happening. Comments are welcome. -Brian
