Has anyone had problems Booting with a Seagate ST31230N on an NCR
controller with FreeBSD 2.0.5?

After installing FreeBSD on the Seagate, it refuses to boot from Boot
Manager, going back to the F1 prompt. Performing the same installation
on a Quantum 4Gb worked perfectly.

 I think the problem is in the drive geometry settings but have tried
various combinations without success.. 

Has anyone got FreeBSD booting from an ST31230N?
What geometry settings did you use?.

regards

Tony
