Hello. I am trying to install freebsd. I used RAWRITE to get the boot.flp image on a disk, but when it boots it only detects my first hard drive. My second is a western digital, but it can't find it so it uses default values, (a whole 17 clusters!). Anyway, I get into the install program, but when I'm making the partitions it won't let me make one on that hard drive. I even set the geometry to the disk to the correct values, and it still won't do anything. (It has an unused partition with the 17 clusters, but I can't do anything to that, nor can I make another partition. It doesn't seem to be reading the new disk geometry). If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. BTW, I'm a fairly experienced linux user. How does freebsd compare with linux? Thanks, -Kevin
