I installed a freeBSD 2.0 system from floppy disks, but it won't boot from the hard disk with IDE drives. I found that freeBSD can't accept the BIOS disk geometry which has 64 heads and 63 setcors. I use freeBSD fdisk to change the geometry into that FreeBDS prints out when it's first booting off the floppy. I still coundn't get the system boot from the hard disk. Do I need to change the BIOS setup geometry outside freeBSD? If so, how to do this? The DOS fdisk offers little help to do this. Thanks Wei.
