This afternoon I installed an older 540 meg IDE drive I had lying around in my pentium 120 system (it had been a freebsd boot disk for my 386 system, but I wanted to up my server capacity a bit, so.. :) The drive works fine -- it's been running for a few years on the 386, and running freebsd at that. It has some oddities -- one is that it's about the 1024 cylinder limit, but that should pose no problem on a realistic operating system? That's what I thought ;). Here's my disk config order -- if anyone could point out where I made my error, I'd appreciate it a lot. I feel pretty silly -- I installed an 85 meg IDE hd in the same system yesterday ;) (I swapped that out into the 386 to make up for the loss of the 540 ;). Yes, it's configured as a slave, etc. step 1 - fdisk: ---- Robert Watson (rnw+@andrew.cmu.edu) * Double major: IDS/CS * H&SS http://www.watson.org/ robert@fledge.watson.org
