Hi, I installed a second SCSI disk on a system. For testing I installed Windows .. fine, I installed Linux .. fine. Then I installed FreeBSD...fine *but* the SCSI BIOS on bootup complains that the disk geometry is all cockeyed, and it looks that way from what it says. It warns any non-DOS O/S may have problems using it. Well I have had no problems, and fdisk makes no complaints. What has happened to upset the SCSI BIOS ? The thing it seems to hate is that it is getting 63 heads reported instead of 64. It is a Tekram 390 U/W controller, with an IBM 18MB U160 disk. There have never been any other complaints about the 1st SCSI disk. Diagnostics show no problems. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
