Just a comment, My standard procedure is to use a DOS boot disk to fdisk /mbr fdisk <= create DOS partition format <drive>: and then boot FreeBSD. I have never had a problem with sysinstall that I can recall, when doing this... it always "discovers" a usable geometry. I will probably switch to Rod's X/64/32 thing for SCSI disks, as I have used that occasionally in the past and never seemed to have any problems, but I wasn't too sure about it. ... JG
