Mike,
I have a WDC AC31000H running both DOS and FreeBSD 2.0 fine, no
problem. Are you based in Ireland?
Regards,

Hello,
I have tried unsuccessfully to install FreeBSD 2.0 on
a Gateway 2000 60MHz Pentium with a WDC AC31000H
1GB hard disk.
The disk has 2100 cyls, 16 heads, 63 sec/trk. The FreeBSD
slice goes from cylinder 968 to 2100 and the root partition is
from cylinder 968 to 1008.
The making of the partitions, /dev, etc. goes fine from the
boot diskette, but when it says remove the boot diskette
to boot from the hard disk, it just doesn't work. The MBR
asks which O/S do I want to boot from but only DOS works.
As you can see, the root partition is below 1K cylinders.
Is there a list of branded PC configurations available for
which FreeBSD is known to work. I've seen the hardware
list FAQ on the FreeBSD CD but, frankly, it's not up to much.
Thanks for any help,
Mike
