>Partitioning with DOS does get rid of the geometry rejection problem. >(Though, for some reason, fdisk sets the geometry to 1/1/1 as I partition >and I have to reset it. This is apparently a bug.) However, I still had I've seen this before (sysinstall or libdisk creates an invalid partition table with an ending C/H/S values of 1023/1/1 or something like that) but don't have any free disks to duplicate it on now. I tried sysinstall on a sliced floppy. This used to sort of work, but now sysinstall dumps core writing the partition table. Also, sysinstall no longer sort of works when run by non-root - keyboard input isn't recognised. Also, the libdisk tags got lost when libdisk was moved to /usr/src/lib. Bruce
