Hi hackers,
tryin' to install 4.11 or 5.x on a Dell box with a Perc 3/Di Raid
controller (with 5x 300GB scsis). I get 'invalid geometry' when running
sysinstall/fdisk on the 'disk', the geometry presented being:
145815 cyl / 255 heads / 63 sectors
I tried to press 'A' for allocate the whole disk, and after several more
warnings it did that, but now the 'free' space in the list has a big minus
value as 'Offset'. Is that a problem?
What should I do in order to get fbsd on this box? Change geometry? Any
other hacks/workarounds?
Have you tried using gpt to partition it?
