In message <4314.843506596@critter.tfs.com> you write: >makes more sense now ? I know that the BIOS can't read tracks past 1023. The question is, when your whole disk is 1023 cylinders, and your a partition is in cylinders 0-34, why would the boot blocks print this message? (See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/search.cgi?words=1023+%28BIOS+limit%29&source=freebsd-questions&source=freebsd-bugs&source=freebsd-hackers&source=freebsd-hardware&max=25&docnum=4) I'm planning to update fsdb to be able to print out all the data blocks that a file is in, which will presumably help diagnose why the bootblocks will fail to boot a particular file.
