Hi,

I have got problems installing NetBSD 1.6.2 on an 80 GB hdd. This sounds a 
bit strange of course, but I can't help myself anymore.

the hdd has got

255 	Heads
63	Tracks
9733	Cylinders

80 GB capacity

I'm able to install the OS correctly (seems like) the geometry for the disk 
is detected by NetBSD

255	Heads
63	Tracks
1024	Cylinders

I didn't dare to change this because of the advisory text below the 
detected values.

The installation proceeds without any errors. (using the entetie disk 
without any changes in the default partitiontable)

After a reboot of the macine, it stops booting with the following lines

biosmask f7fd netmask fffd ttymask ffff
Kernelized RAIDframe activaded
boot device: <unkown>

pressing enter shows up a lot of raid-devices but not the expected wd0 
device

Reinstalling the OS Doesen't either work, because the sysinst-tool says 
there is no hdd on this system.

booting with a debian-cd using cfdisk shows up an error (partition is 
bigger than hdd) after deleting the partitiontable a reinstall of NetBSD is 
possible.

Does anyone know what to do in such a situation?


Thanks in advance

Christoph
