By any chance is this a SATA drive? If so I had the same problem, the only way to get sysinstall to partition it was to use the latest version of sysinstall from a fresh buildworld, the sysinstall located in /usr/sbin not /stand. It worked even though there was still the warning message. -Mike _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
