I do not want to reinstall my complete harddisk after the next try of installing FreeBSD. :-* What do I have to set in the BIOS, when I am using a 1GB E-IDE HD with probably 32 heads? There is an 'IDE Translation Mode' which may be set to 'Standard CHS', 'Logical Block', 'Extended CHS' or 'Auto Detect' (was default). Then there are the following settings, too: 'Multiple sector setting' : 'Disabled', '4 Sectors/Block', '8 Sectors/Block' or 'Auto Detect' (again, this as default) 'Fast Programmed I/O Modes' : 'Disabled' or 'Auto Detect' (def.) Some time ago I tried to install FreeBSD with the default settings - resulting in new installing all other stuff that was on HD, but no FreeBSD ... Another question: Is it possible to create a bootdisk for FreeBSD or may I boot it out of the OS/2 - Bootmanager? I do NOT want to install the FreeBSD-bootmenu! -- Best regards rj,- `Er ist grossartig! - Wer? - Na Ihr! - Ach, Er!'
