When you set these drives up with the Buslogic controller, what geometry do you use? More specifically, what do you use for sectors/track if the drive is zone recorded. I have a Quantum Fireball 1080 and cannot get the thing to boot once I have installed BSD which I assume is a geometry problem. Do you have to use specific parameters with the newfs command? or is the Fireball not compatible or how can I tell? \|/--_ -_- ---- ### _- ---------------------- -0 -_- -- -__ %~- ____#0 _- Elizabeth Strickler |\ ^ 0\~ /\ /\ - estrickler@cs.gsu.edu |_(___/ \_ ||_________/ _/ |_/ \_ http://www.cs.gsu.edu/eli
