Hi, I've been unable to install FreeBSD on one of my boxes ever since I tried it with 3.0. The box is built on a Microstar 6120 motherboard = (http://www.msicomputer.com/products/detail.asp?ProductID=3D84) which has an Adaptec 7895 chipset. The board is equipped with = two PII processors. There are who ultra wide connectors on the motherboard, of which one is connected to two u2w disks. The kernel probes the disks alright, and I can edit the DOS partition table just fine, but no matter what settings I use for partitions, the label editor complains when I am about to create disk labels inside my freebsd partition, putting up a message box saying something like "Failed to create (...). Too big?". = The size of the BSD partition I am creating doesn't matter, it can be the= minimum allowed size and the label editor still complains about it being too big. Any information on what is causing this error message and how = to fix or work around it would be much appreciated. Linux runs just fine on the box and has no problems with partitions or other block allocation setups so it doesn't appear to be a disk/controlle= r mismatch either. Thanks for your time, /Andreas ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webm= ail.netscape.com.
