Hello I have a HighPoint RocketRAID 454 with 8 identical drives attached and everything works great until I go about partition the array with fdisk it complains about geometry, I have read in this list that a work around is to manually input the geometry in bios that fdisk says but I cant input anything for the array in highpoints bios and I can?t find any numbers either sp I can correct fdisk so I?m in a dead end and need help! I?m running FreeBSD 5.1-RELESE installed booted on ISO image and installed from ftp.
