Hi all,

freeBSD is going so well I got a second hard disk. It was advertised
as 10 Gb. I had a fool round with it this morning and fdisk is giving
me error messages I don't understand yet. Anyhow, I recall something
about FreeBSD STABLE not coping with HDD bigger than 8 Gb.

Is this still the case? I have the 3.0 disks, but I wanted to put off
the full upgrade 'till I'd initialised this second HDD and made a 
backup to it.

More detailed error messages can follow... (Not at work right now!)

TIA
Eddie.
