Greetings All,
After pillaging through the mailing list archives, I've gone through
most of the messages relating to this problem. However, I haven't a clue
on what to do. :)
My setup is as follows:
C: - 170 meg DOS, Stacked
D: - 270 meg DOS (1st Half of WD540)
E: - 270 meg FreeBSD (2nd Half of WD540)
I go through all the installation things (version 2.0.5R) with ease.
For my HD geometry, do I set it to 1048/16/63 (like it says in my
manual), or do I set it to what FreeBSD thinks (524/32/63)? If I try the
first, it spits out Missing Operating System at me. Is it safe to use the
latter option (it says not to in the HD manual).
Any help would be appreciated. :)
-Kevin
