Questions,
DOS recognizes my C: and D: disks fine.
The C: disk contains DOS stuff, the D: disk is newly formatted but
contains no files. I'd like to put all FreeBSD stuff on the D: disk.
When I try to use the FreeBSD boot disk I get:
[...]
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <QUANTUM LP240A GM240A01X>
wd0: 234 MB (479349 total sec), 723 cyl, 13 head, 51 sec,
bytes/sec 512
wdc0: unit 1 (wd1), <QUANTUM MAVERICK 540A>
wd1: 516MB (1057392 total sec), 1049 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec,
bytes/sec 512
wdc1 not found at 0x170
I've RTFM but haven't totally UTFM [understood ...].
I'm not sure if there is something that I need to reset in the DOS
system setup program or something special I need to do since the
D: disk has over 1024 cylinders. Clues suitable for boneheads
would be appreciated...feeling pretty frustrated and intimidated
about all this.
Thanks for any help,
Mark
