Greetings, I hope this isn't pathetically stupid... I've successfully installed the OS on many machines in shared OS situations and alone on smaller drives but this one sort of has me stumped. I've been trying to install FBSD on a single 2.05GB Quantum SCSI II hard disk. The controller is an Adaptec 1542CF. I've tried both disabling and enabling large disk translation. I wanted to install it using the entire drive rather than with a partition entry, but have done it both ways. In all cases on installation it comes up saying the drive geometry is invalid. It then defaults to 2050/64/32. Whether I accept these settings, or change them (1023/64/32 was reported using pfdisk) I get all the way through the installation and on reboot I get... Boot: Error: C:1040 > 1023 (BIOS limit) I'm kinda lost on this one. Thanks Randy
