Ran into this today. Try to specify a geometry using (G) in fdisk. If sysinstall doesn't like the geometry it ovverides it for you. I can understand doing this the first time when it tries to automatically figure out the geometry. But it does it when you try to manually set the geometry now. Since you can't cancel the action of using a "better" geometry there is no way to override the thing if it is wrong. Also, the wording on that dialog box can use some help as it is a bit confusing. It should probably mention what geometry it is going to use in place of the old one which it does mention, and it should probably have a cancel button. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
