THIS MESSAGE IS ADDRESSED TO SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP WITH FREEBSD INSTALLATION !!! Hi, I have just received the FreeBSD CDROM by mail delivery, and tring to install it. The problem is, that I have an old i486 CPU on 486 VLB motherboard and a 2.1GB hard drive. Whenever I try to install the FreeBSD (I do it with novice install as I am not an expert, yet), it seems that everything is going quite OK and at the end the system reboots itself. After reboot the system is halted and this is the message I get: Boot: dosdev=80, biosdrive=0, unit=0, maj=0 Error:C:1027 > 1023 (BIOS limit) My guess was that it is caused because the motherboard doesn't recognise this size of hard drives. So, I've re-partitioned the drive to several 480MB slices, but still it doesn't help. Does any of you have any idea was is the cause and the cure to this problem ? Thanks in advance, Guy Yaniv Gilboa 60 Bat Hefer 42842 POB 113 ISRAEL Home E-Mail: guyy@inter.net.il Work E-Mail: guy.yaniv@telrad.co.il
