Hi!

Here are new information regarding my problem of this IDE hard drive
uncorrectly recognized by FreeBSD.

I am currently using FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE and during the boot phase, I
have the following message :

wd1: size unknown, using fake values
wd1: 0MB (17 sectors), 1 cyls, 1 heads, 17 S/T, 512 B/S

This wd1 is recognized by the BIOS as
  Conner Peripherals 850MB - CFS850A

I am able to partition it and format it under Windows on this same
machine.

Booting using a 2.2.5R boot floppy result in the same message.

This hard drive has already run under FreeBSD with no troubles but on a
different machine some the problem may come from the controller.

Here are the messages I have booting in verbose mode :

....

I have been able to use Fdisk on this hard drive anyway but not
disklabel (from sysinstall) !

Any help will be greatly appreciate!

Thanks

Phil.
