Product: Base System Reporter: tim <tim>
Component: i386Assignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>

Description tim 2000-04-25 19:40:01 UTC
The disk patition does not detect geometry of 8930/15/63 and
even after changing it will not make a partiton greater than
1888Mb. The disk is 4Gb. Earlier versions of FreeBSD were ok
as is Mircosoft Windows 98.

My system is 32MB RAM, Intel Pentium-MMX 223, Maxtor 84320D4 (4Gb) drive
 and standard floppy disk.

Fix: 

none.
How-To-Repeat: Just try to install using boot floppies and follow configure
instructions for disk partition.

You must substantiate what goes wrong.

Any error messages, etc?

No.

That works for me.  My 20 GB HD at home, my various 9 or 18 GB disks at
work do not complain under 3.4, 4.0 or 5.0

Substantiate.

The originator needs to substantiate his claims for other people to even    
be remotely able to help him.
