I've got a 486DX/66 with 32MB of Ram. Internal IDE and SCSI, and external SCSI drives. The machine is quad-boot Win95/Redhat/Slackware/FreeBSD. FreeBSD is on a Quantum 1080S. It has been giving me grief since day one! The installer isn't happy with the hard drive, especially the size so it gives it a geometry of 132/63/255. Now, the only real problem is that when I boot, I have to type 2:sd(1,a)kernel or it boots 2:sd(2,a)kernel and crashes. I'd like to make that not happen anymore. I've tried reinstalling. I've tried giving other parameters for the geometry. I've really tried resetting the bootable partition with the installer. I'm tired now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
