Err...
I have tried several times to install FreeBSD 2.1 on a machine with WD
Caviar disks.
The first is a 31600 (holds Win'95) and the second is a 34000 on a PCI
controller.
When my installation completes, the bootmanager fails to recognise the
second disk.
The FAQ says this is due to incorrect disk geometry and suggests:-
(1) a small DOS partition on the disk firs (didn't work)
(2) using the entire disk for FreeBSD (didn't work)
(3) Entering the disk geometry by hand (didn't work)
Anybody got any clues as to what to try next ?
