I just tried to install Slackware Linux. Linux's FDISK asked me to set
the number of heads for my SCSI-HD (1 GB Seagate). But somhow I couldn't
make it. I tried almost everything.
FIPS reports under DOS the drive having 255 heads, but even that didn't
work.
Could someone help me with that? please E-Mail to:

Thanx!
