Hello everybody, I have tried to find information on this issue, both online, in IRC and o= n=20 mailing list archives, but nothing seems to turn up as useful I have an ASUS CUSL2 The first HD is a Maxtor 53073U6 wth 30735MB The current partition table on it looks like this: Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 3736 cylinders Units =3D cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes =20 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 261 2096451 6 FAT16 /dev/hda2 262 3736 27912937+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 262 1407 9205213+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 1408 2682 10241406 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda7 2683 3736 8466223+ 8 AIX <--- This shoudl = be=20 used by BSD later I marked it as AIC partition in Linux so i woudl easily= =20 recognize it in the BSD notation The BIOS recognizes the drive as 30735, it automatically set all values, = uses=20 LBA, sets PIO MODE4 and ATA mode5 I am booting the install floppies for BSD RELEASE 4.3 everything boots up fine, when the kernel laods I think I see something a= bout=20 loading i815 ATA onboard driver blah blah... not sure though. After all has loaded I try to parition drive ad0 but when I open it with the fdisk like dialog all I see is ad0s0 with a total size of 2008MB on the second console the following text is printed: ad0s0 partition entry too long : truncating and below ad0s2 slice starts beyond end of the disk: rejecting it. The drive geometry is recognized as being 255/255/63 when the bios recognizes it to be 1024/255/63 using the LBA mapping that=20 equals 255 heads, 63 sectors, 3736 cylinders I can turn off any enhaced stuff, whatever I do, the installer doe snot s= ee=20 my full 30GB. Please advise me, I really would love to try BSD and I need it to port so= me=20 code over from linux.
