Seems to have something to do with the LBA 2 gig drive. The 4 gig seagate i just installed worked. Setup 2 partitions 1-100 1-3900 meg. Perhaps Freebsd (unlike BSDi) doesn't like LBA? I'm just curious as i figgered with the bsdi experience i had the kernels would act pretty much the same, and i know for a fact the same partitioning scheme would have yielded a good result with BSDi 2.1 Sam On Fri, 25 Oct 1996, Doug White wrote: > On Fri, 25 Oct 1996, Sam Brown wrote: > > > Straightforward install - 2.2-snap /eide lba mode drive (2 gig)/ p75 asus > > triton II, install from ftp looks great, single partition with auto config > > freebsd sub-partitions etc etc.. reboot, get something like > > > > f1 for bsd > > f? > > > > and it doesn't go from there.
