First, the setup particulars: SuperMicro P6DBE motherboard, bios rev 3.1 Seagate 40 GB UDMA drive is master on IDE0 36x generic CDROM is master on IDE1 BIOS says geometry is 16838/16/63, which matches the printed label on the drive. 4.5R install CD in boot-v mode shows that ad0 is detected with 77545/16/63 geometry, which is... insane. Tried using both the kernel-detected geometry, and the BIOS-detected one - same result: "read error" trying to boot. Am I missing something blatantly obvious or should I go get the chicken and the goat ready for the sacrificial rites of Black Magic of FreeBSD (tm)?
