These problems are unrelated. FreeBSD does not care about drive geometry. The reason fdisk(1) mentions it is that the geometry (or actually a fake but plausible geometry - modern disks can't be accurately described in terms of C/H/S) is encoded in the MBR for legacy reasons. If the numbers in the MBR are wrong, the BIOS may be unable to load FreeBSD from disk when it boots.
Would asking the manufacturer to suggest a suitable geometry for FreeBSD solve anything?
Or are there any tools which can be used to do this? Jonathan http://www.fluent.ltd.uk/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
