I've got a TekRAM IDE controller which will link two IDE drives and lie to the hardware, telling it there is but one volume which is as large as the two were. Unfortunately, this seems to present a problem for FreeBSD. The installation software seems to understand the large drive, and it will install to it without complaint. When I go to boot from that drive the loader locks up tight. I have noticed that when the installation floppy is trying to mount various controllers to see what hardware is there, it claims to see a volume that's a bit over 700mb where the 4.9gb volume should reside. Any clues as to how to get this puppy to boot? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brian -- catmega@pobox.com -- Chicagoland ----------------------------------------------------------------- God loves crazy people, that's why he makes so many of them -----------------------------------------------------------------
