Possible; does anybody know what does one gain by enabling 'Packet mode' during boot blocks installation? From the following link, it seems like the 'Packet mode' should be checked if the root partition is beyond 1024 cylinders. http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2005/07/ What really happens, when one enables the 'Packet mode'?

I'm hoping I don't have to do such a thing to be able to boot DFBSD. -- Chirag Kantharia, kantharia.in/chirag/ And all you touch and all you see, Is all your life will ever be. -- Pink Floyd, Breathe _______________________________________________ bsd-india mailing list [email protected] http://www.bsd-india.org/mailman/listinfo/bsd-india
