Hi all, I have an old Pentium Pro system that I would like to install FreeBSD 4.6.2 on. Unfortunately, its BIOS has the 8.4Gb limit, and I can't find an upgrade for it. The only drive I have available is a new Maxtor 40Gb unit. I can boot and install from the CD-ROM, and everything is OK, but I cannot get it to boot on its own. I have tried some of the suggestions in the FAQ, but I still cannot get it to work. Any ideas would be appreciated (or if anybdy knows a source of new <8.4Gb drives). Thanks. -- Matthew Donadio (m.p.donadio@ieee.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
