I try to install freebsd-5.4 on a brandnew 250G seagate baracuda = 3250823A Sysinstall states the drive geomery is wrong and chooses a new value. It ALSO states to fill in the values the *bios* thinks the drive is. So here's my dilemma: fbsd values: 30401/255/16 gives 238472MB (almost ok) bios values: 65535/255/16 gives 514072MB (totally wrong) What to do? Can the bios be so wrong? What must I do? The drive will also hold a copy of Win98se and WinXP/pro and I don't = want any faults to happen by chosing the wrong values. Please some advice..
