Date: Thu, 28 Mar 1996 01:16:35 +0200 Lines: 12 Message-ID: <3159CC53.2BB9@ibm.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: slip139-92-17-67.pt.uk.ibm.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win95; I) I have FreeBSD 2.0, January 1995. Trying to install on a Pentium 100Mhz, 16MB Ram, Jet686 motherboard with EIDE disk Quantum Fireball 1.28 GB Pio-mode 4, got errors, saying cannot handle the number of culinders/heads etc. No such problem on an old 127 MB IDE disk (CHS mode) Is this a problem of version 2.0? Is it solved on 2.1? please reply by e-mail savas01@ibm.net
