  Hi,

  Having trouble install a 300G SATA with 5.4 release. HW is Dell
  PowerEdge. First disk
  is a 80G SATA. All is good. When adding the 300G, sysinstall cant
  understand the
  geom, 581421/16/63. It thinks it is 36481/255/63. Cant write to the
  disk. Even if I
  use G to tell it, it still wont take it.

Both of those geometries specify about the same amount of space, although the second one will be a tiny bit smaller, but when you have 300G acouple of missing kbytes is no big deal.

Your problem is likely something else. Can you give more details about exactly what you're doing to set up the new disk? What version of FreeBSD are you using? etc...

  Help please.
