* I tried to install 2.1.5 onto 4 GB micropolis. * Then I installed a small dos bootable partition and when I tried again * the installation, there wasn't any more error message about the * geometry, but it displayed :522/255/63 (255 heads !?) and now it works * fine. * * But is it correct with this geometry ? Isn't there a risk for potential * problems later ? I have been using the Micropolis 3243W with that geometry for almost a year now. It's been working fine. (I have an Adaptec 2940UW, BTW -- you should include info about your SCSI adapter, because it's the adapter that decides which funky geometry to use.) Satoshi
