Try using MS-DOS' FDISK to create your partitions, and see whether FreeBSD recognizes the geometry better. You can either change the partition type from FAT to UFS, or else perhaps create a ~20 MB DOS partition and try to install FreeBSD in the remaining space. [ For that matter, make sure that you've disabled any boot sector virus checking or protection in the system BIOS. ] -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
