Hi,
	I just installed FreeBSD 2.1 and am having a few problems:

	First my configuration:
		DX2/50 with ISA MB
		20 Meg Ram
		1 1 gig SCSI
		1 100 meg SCSI
		Cirrus SVGA GD542x
		Adaptec 1542B
		Logitec 3-button bus mouse
		Sound Blaster 16
		SMC elite 8013
		CTX CVP-5468A 14in SVGA non-interlaced

	The disks are laid out as follows
		1 Gig
		-----
		1 - 200 Meg for DOS 
		2 - 800 Meg for FreeBSD
			/	750 Meg
			swap 	500 Meg

	I keep everything in one partition to easy backups and
	optimally use disk space.

	I've built a custom kernel with only what I need, and everything
	shows up fine, with no conflicts. Though I'm a little concerned with
	the port of the SB and the mouse.
	
	The SB 16 is set to port 0x220 and the mouse is (unmovable) at 0x23c.

	1) When I halt/reboot/shutdown the machine, it tries to 
	   sync but after a line full of 1 1 1 1 1  it says
           giving up. then on reboot it says / was not properly unmounted.

		Could it be that the partition goes past 1024 cylinders?

	2) X won't work. 
		I can only start it as root, though the device is 666. I
		tried this with both the sco and the vt console. (I built both)

		There is a 1 inch border on all sides. I don't have enough
		screen to let that happen.

		The mouse runs to 0 0 and then won't move from it, the
		first time you touch the mouse. This is the mse0 driver.


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
	Paul.
