I have an iomega jaz 1GB and have partitioned the disk in half and am booting off it...(pretty cool...eh?)...well...i have installed it and after a long session of trial and error have gotten it to work with a small error message: sd2 could not mode sense(4). Using fictitious geometry 1021MB(2091050 512 byte sectors) any idea what is the problem?...it works fine but this message scares me!! on with the rest...after i installed FreeBSD...i tried booting win95 on my normal HD and it killed the boot record!!...(i reinstalled win95 and I am ok!)...what happened there?? another question...how do i turn off the virtual desktop and my resolution to 800x600...it currently is stuck at 640x480 and has a 1280x1024 virtual desktop (annoying)...any help here?? last question...how do i mount my cdrom to work when i run sysconfig(or install...can't remember)...it says that no cdrom was found yet that's where i installed from...well...any help??
