Sounds like you and I are doing exactly the same thing; I just got my Sigma drive too and ran into the same problem. Here's the geometry information for this drive that let me get beyond this step (I'm just now progressing to the next step). # cylinders: 1571 # heads: 16 # sectors: 63 At the boot: prompt enter "ramdisk hd=1571,16,63" and you'll avoid the complaint.
