i could successfully install RedHat 8.0 without any
problem. so i think there is no problem with the
system.
i do see some reference to similar problem report in
some bsd related mailing archive. but there is no
solution mentioned.
could somebody help me out ?
thanks

-------------------------------------------
my disk has the following geometry:
9729 cyl/255 head/64 sectors
when i used fdisk from linux, i got a warning that
cyl is > 1024 which may not work correctly with
fdisk of win and os/2. is this the case with freebsd ?
thanks

i did create the slices using default option (A)
and partions using default option (A).
now i see the following problem:
"mounting error /mnt/dev/ad0s1f on /mnt/usr :
Input/output error"
i think it is the problem with the disk geometry
i don't know what. i have a 80GB disk, and i tried
changing the mode from LBA to NORMAL to LARGE in the
BIOS setting but it didn't help. /usr is the the
last partition in the default list of partiontions.
thanks in advance for your time
