I just installed BSD 2.1(CD version) on my computer.  After the installation, 
I rebooted and got the booteasy prompt.  When selecting BSD, BSD STARTS to 
BOOT then says error out of limit of BIOS(somthing like that).  For what ever
reason I can not use the the option to limit myself under 1024 in my bios,
harddrive not reconized, so Im running with hd geometry set as 3072/16/63(somthing 
like that, same as dos. Any suggestions would be appreciated....
