Hello,
I'm having difficulties in getting my Quantum Atlas 4.3G (XP34300)
working under FreeBSD.
How do I add this drive to FreeBSD? I tried installing a fresh
2.2-960612-SNAPSHOT but after the final 'commit' I get the error:
Debugger("Slice code got a negative blocknumber") called
I suspect there is a problem with the drive geometry (I used the
default 4104 cyls, 64 heads, 32 sectors).
I tried to create:
slice 1 FreeBSD 4251648 blocks (2076MB)
slice 2 FreeBSD 2867200 blocks (1400MB)
slice 3 unused 1286144 blocks ( 628MB)
Any help or suggestions appreciated!
