- After some experimentation, it turns out that 386bsd has problems with my
- hard disk only after cylinder 784 (assuming the first one is #1). My hard
- disk has the following characteristics:
-
- Western Digital 40MB IDE, model# WD95044-A
- 977 cylinders
- 5 heads
- 17 sectors/track
-
- Thanks to Eric Haug for the advice to narrow down this problem.
- Suggestions from anyone else are welcome via email: zof@wubcl.wustl.edu
-
- Thank you.
