Hi All, Can anyone shed any light on what I have to do to change the disk geometry on a compact flash card I have a Ram Star 64MB CF card which is detected as 960/16/8 when it is in fact 1000/4/32 as per the manufacturers specs. When I change the geometry in the /stand/sysinstall fdisk utility it changes the geometry at the top, but it will not allow the size of the slices to change from what it is detected as. I then write the changes and exit fdisk. But if I go back into the fdisk utility the drive geometry defaults baclk to 960/16/8 I would appreciate any assistance and suggestions on what I am doing wrong Thanks Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
