>during the installation of FreeBSD 2.0.5 we have problems >with booting from a 2 GB Seagate ST32430N Fast-SCSI-2 disk. >The SCSI controller is a Adaptec 2940. >The physical geometry of the disk is: > > cylinders: 3992 > heads: 9 > sectorsper track: 119 > unformatted capacity: 2590 MB > formatted capacity: 2140 MB I have used geometry 2049/64/32 (http://www.jyu.fi/~kallio/atk/OS/FreeBSD) with the same disk and controller. I did make a small DOS partition (with DOS FDISK) and then run FreeBSD install (as instructed in install docs). Then install did use this geometry. After install no problems.
