I did quite a bit of work to `clean up' the BIOS boot block in NetBSD-current. I have not worked on the bad144 code, however. True theat freebsd1.1 deals better with >1024 cylinder drives? The wd driver has worked with >1024 cylinders since 386BSD. The BIOS boot block cannot, because the BIOS simply won't do it. -- - Charles Hannum NetBSD group Working ports: i386, hp300, amiga, sparc, mac68k, pc532. In progress: pmax, sun3.
