I have tried to install FreeBSD 6.1 (downloaded as an iso from freebsd.org) onto the last 1.5Gb of a 120Gb disk, the rest is windows XP, this appears to go normally except for the geometry I get the message =93geometry of 238216/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry=94. (Which turns out to be 14946/255/63). When I attempt to load FreeBSD I get the error message =93Unable to load = kernel=94 and it goes to the OK prompt. In the bios it gives the geometry as 58853/16/255, however if I try to but this in once more I get the error =93Geometry =85 incorrect. Using a more likely geometry.=94 Any suggestions as to what I=92m doing wrong? =20 Brian Levie --=20 No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
