This what I've done so far. 1- I already tried to create a small partition for MSDOS, so FreeBSD could get the correct geometry, but didn't work. 2- I already changed to LBA access to my HD. but didn't work. 3- I disarmament my computer complete so the BIOS could take my HD as a new drive. but didn't work. 4- Every event upon my HD (like left itself without any format) so FreeBSD can take it as a new HD. But didn't work. The FreeBSD version that I is 5.3. I bought this version under the Mundo Linux magazine. Here the details of the hardware: IDE Primary Master: Segate 10GB, the geometry between BIOs and FreeBSD are equals so far. IDE Secondary Master: CDROM 56k 128 RAM. AMD 750GHz. even, I had intalled WinXP (a shit) but NOT ANYMORE !! forever. Btw, it worked fine there with that hardware. Pls help me !!, this has taken for my during 1 month trying install it without luck !!. Any help I'll appreciate. Jerori !
