Hiyall!

I'm trying to install 4.1.1-release onto a 6gb ATA disk
(LBA geometry 776/240/63)
I fips'd a 1.8gb slice (ad0s3) from windows, used the
sysinstall fdisk to set it to type 165, and tried to
put a 100mb / partition on it.  But sysinstall's disklabel sez:

"This region cannot be used for your root partitions as the FreeBSD
boot code cannot deal with a root partition created in that location.
Please choose another location or smaller size for your root
partition and try again".

What's going on here??  I've found similar questions in the -questions
archive but no answers.

Thanks for any help!!!!

Rich
