Hello. I need to install FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE on a hard drive (20 GB) beyond the 1024th cylinder (actually, I need to make the slice at cylinders 2222-2482) I know that FreeBSD cannot boot from there, I have gone through the archives and the mails saying "You cannot boot ... etc etc". I want to ask 2 things: 1) Is there any workaround for this ??? 2) I've gone through the Release Notes of 4.1-RELEASE and they say that this problem is solved. So, if I install a version >= 4.1-RELEASE I will not have any problems, right ??? If that's right, can I download specially something (rather small in size) from the 4.1 or even the current branch and "fix" the 4.0-RELEASE version ?? PS: I prefer using LiLO, but I don't care if I will have to use BootEasy. -- DJ Art (aka Kyritsis Athanasios) <djart@hellug.gr> Studying Electrical & Computer Engineering @ UPatras http://members.hellug.gr/djart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
