Hello,
I am attempting to install monowall on an early P1, using a CF/IDE
adapter with a 32 meg. CF card. I used the physdiskwrite utility to write
the image to the card. There was no c/h/s info listed when I did this, just
cyls:3 tpc:255 spt:63. The first issue is that the 32 meg card formatted to
24 meg. I did not consider this to be a problem, since only 5 meg is
required. When I put this card into the adapter in a newer P4 machine it
boots without an issue. In the P1 machine, however, it stops with a read
error. Autodetecting the card from the BIOS (on the P1) shows a 32 meg
card, so I am assuming that there is a drive geometry problem. Does anyone
know how to find the c/h/s info for the card? Or is there some other
approach to the problem that I have not considered?
Thanks,
Jeff |
