Right, that's what I thought. I've run into the 1024 cylinder problem before with Linux, and solved it by booting from a floppy. This is completely mystifying to me. It just dies before I can boot the CD or floppy. I can't find a lot of scope for troubleshooting it. I guess it could be a BIOS thing, but I don't know that much about hardware. -Mike Cummings To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
