My setup is a 1.0 gig IDE c drive with dos and a 420 meg d drive with FreeBSD 2.1.7./small dos partition. I'm a bit unsure how to go about mounting the c drive from Freebsd. Do I leave LBA on in BIOS? If so, do I change the drive parameters Freebsd shows (right now it doesn't show the LBA changes)? How? disklabel? And to what parameters? So far all my efforts lead to this message when mounting the c drive: myname /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): Warning: root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length plus files seem to get garbled. While I'm at it, are there any other factors to address for when I plan to swap dos to the 420M and Freebsd to the 1G? Just make sure that / is below 1024 C? Thanks again for all the help that this list has given me! Gerard
