I know all of the drive params, the problem I'm having is when the kernel boots, it hangs on changing root to fd0a. When this starts, the drive light goes on for ~10 seconds and then nothing happens. If I disconnect the drive, the loading of the file system proceeds are normal. I have this drive partioned under dos as full space, 617cyl, 16 head, 63 sectors/track, 512 bytes/sector. Type 80.
