I digged internet to find a solution and i found.As a solution i booted installation disc with SAFE option by pressing 3.That time "disc geometry is wrong " messeage appeared again but when i was continued the installation i got no error and copying the files to HDD was succesful. So installation completed and I was rebooted my computer.As i was choose standard FreeBSD Boot Manager showed up and then i choose FreeBSD by pressing F1.I booted FreeBSD with Default option by pressing 1 and after my computer alerted with sound warnings and there was a message "Wrong boot sector.Press Y to fix or any key to abort".As I mentioned above I was pressed Y to fix it but nothing was happen :( Im not be able to show you a log because there is no OS to record log :) But I have to say there some outputs about UDMA... failure etc. while was trying to fix. So there is no information about this thing on internet. Sorry about my horrible english. Cheers. >How-To-Repeat: I tried to install again, again and again.But it did not helped that situation. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
