If I remember right, the messages regarding the dos partition were
mainly about" skipping garbage"
or something to that effect. I think the way I resolved the problem was
to let the
partition aspect of the setup continue with it's belief that my hd had
64 heads(16 really).
After that point all seemed well(had both int and ecxt caches off) and
the transfer from
one partition to the other went pretty smooth.
I got hung up during the post install at the Xfree setup " Failed
to locate shared file
**3.0** (sorry about the name but I do remember looking for it and the
message was right since
the files in the directory it wanted were 2.0 series, comp, cp?? 2.0. (I
downloaded all of
the compx files in the dist)
Sorry about the lack of detail looking back, it's kind of a blur. Hope
it helps.
PS: For those of you getting pissed and thinking about Linux...Go ahead
and try it.
When BSD drops you out of the install, you can get back in, and can get
a little insight
throught the debug. Redhat, well, when you are reaching for the scroll
lock, you better
just pass that by and turn the machine off.....
