I'm trying to install FreeBSD (freebsd 4.3-release) for the first time. Earlier i hade linux and win98 that worked fine. I removed linux and repartitioned the mig hard disk into two primary partitions (i used PartitionMagic). the win98 partition is 1800M. The Freebsd partition would be about 4349M. The problem that i faced was that Freebsd didn't recognize the geometry of my harddisk, which is 784/255/63 (C/H/S). FreeBSD's FDISK editor show allways the value 204/255/63 (which means that the harddisk has only 1880M) I tried to change the values (C/H/S) from the FDISK EDITOR during the installation process using the the commando G = set set geometry. But this didn't work. Any idea what to do? With best regards. Silakhdar Krikeb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
