    Good News Everyone!
    Turns out that *BSD is stronger than ever!
    According to an Inernetnews article, Netcraft has confirmed that *BSD has "dramatically increased its market penetration over the last year."
    There has been a steady increase in *BSD developers over the past decade.
    There are currently 307 FreeBSD developers as of the 2004 core team election.

    Actually, using "dangerously dedicated" should remove any pesky geometry problems. He should try that. (If you don't have to dual boot on that machine).

    I had a heck of a problem getting the goemetry right with my newest home box and its 120GB drive. If you must dual boot (and therefore need the right geometry in the fdisk partition table) you should try to get a second opinion from various other utitilites and then enter it manually. The Partition Magic DOS disks finally gave me something good.

    I've installed FreeBSD on dozens of different machines and this was the only time sysinstall guessed wrong.

    K.C.
