I am currently trying to set up 386BSD on a 386 machine with a Maxtor 4170
hard disk drive.  I am having trouble with the drive losing the disklabel
and think it has to do with the drive geometry.  Could someone with a Maxtor
4170 please give me a discription of what each jumper on the drive does?

Thanks
