Remember: you need to enter whatever your BIOS thinks the geometry is! For IDE, it's what you were told in the BIOS setup. For SCSI, it's the translation mode your controller is using. Do NOT use a "physical geometry". " but full-screen fdisk and disklabel work ok. I leave sysintall, and try mfb1# fdisk -BI ad1 ******* Working on device /dev/ad1 ******* fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found I´m not on site to play with it, but somebody is. What do I tell the person to do? is the 73 gb useable by FreeBSD? swap out the disk for an 8 gb like ad0 ?
