Hi List, I am trying to install a secondary hard disk in a Intel-based PC with FreeBSD 5.4
This secondary disk's capacity is 250 Gb. When I enter sysintall to try to format it and create a slice, FreeBSD says that the geometry of disk is not correct. I, then, type in the values detected by the BIOS as suggested, but FreeBSD still complains that those are not valid. FreeBSD sees the new disk as a disk of approx. 131 GB. So my question is: where is the problem? Is it that FreeBSD is not able to recognise such a big disk capacity? Any hint, suggestion, or web link would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance Aitor. ************ LEGEZKO OHARRA / AVISO LEGAL / LEGAL ADVICE ************* Mezu honek isilpeko informazioa gorde dezake, edo jabea duena, edota legez babestuta dagoena.
