FreeBSD/FDisk geometry problems - SOLVED!

I've found a bug in FDisk which is responsible for all the problems I've had trying to get FreeBSD installed. I also found a work-around, and I'm happy to report I'm typing this message from Konquerer inside FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE right now. Basically, the problem is that FreeBSD's FDisk and the

ks, I was still able to boot off a DOS floppy, format the hard drive as a system device and put a minimal DOS install on it, and boot fine off the hard drive into DOS. - Original Message - From: "Jerry McAllister" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Keith Kelly" <[EM

FDisk won't detect or accept correct disk geometry from BIOS

Please see this page: http://lantech.geekvenue.net/chucktips/jason/chuck/1044789670/index_html This is exactly the problem I am having now whenever I try to install either FreeBSD 4.9 or 5.1. Clearly, a lot of other users out there are having this problem too. FDisk absolutely refuses to acce
