FBSD 4.3R GENERIC dmesg.boot shows ad0: 9541MB <ST310211A> [19386/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ad1: 73308MB <IBM-DTLA-307075> [148945/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA100 acd0: CDROM <IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM 52XS> at ata1-slave using PIO4 ad0 is a standard 4-partition setup, but ad1 is not yet recognized When I go to /stand/sysinstall for fdisk on ad1, I get: " Message WARNING: A geometry of 148945/16/63 for ad1 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry. If this geometry is incorrect or you are unsure as to whether or not it's correct, please consult the Hardware Guide in the Documentation submenu or use the (G)eometry command to change it now. Remember: you need to enter whatever your BIOS thinks the geometry is! For IDE, it's what you were told in the BIOS setup. For SCSI, it's the translation mode your controller is using. Do NOT use a "physical geometry". " but full-screen fdisk and disklabel work ok. I leave sysintall, and try mfb1# fdisk -BI ad1 ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found I´m not on site to play with, but somebody is. What do I tell the person to do? is the 73 gb useable? swap out the disk for an 8 gb like ad0 ?
