Stone, I got it installed - first I created a 5gig partition and installed win2000 (for games), then installed FreeBSD on the remaining 35gigs and it had no complaint at all. I don't know why it didn't like the full 40gig drive, but it's working now, sure is fast :), I'm gonna have to replace all my old boxes with these. -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

quick help-new install complains about the hard drive geometry
I am setting up a brand new system, has a 40gig hard drive. FBSD4.7 complains about the geometry being incorrect, to use the G command to change it. I did that, set it to exactly what the BIOS shows for the drive, and it still claims the numbers are incorrect. What do I do now? -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
