Here is my algorithm, which has worked so far on a number of machines: 1. Set the disk type in the BIOS to be NORMAL. 2. Install FreeBSD 'dangerously dedicated'. 3. If it hangs at boot time, don't reinstall, simply go into the BIOS and change the disk type to be LBA. Reboot. Only if the above fails should you fall back to reinstalling with a partition table. -- (Rahul Dhesi) a2i network support account To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
