I have a conner 1.2 gig ide drive and the probing detects my hd right
but fdisk detects the wrong geometry so i can't use most of my hd.
Even after i change the geometry it dosen't help any.  But linux does
the same exact thing but can still detect my whole drive in fdisk, but
freebsd can't... any help?! Please respond to aeo@ntplx.net
