My BIOS declares it knows and writes out the full capacity of my disk (8.4 GB) in BIOS setup, but no system is aware of it. I use BEOS, WIN98, OS/2, LINUX and FREEBSD. Every system of these declares the disk is 8 GB big. I have a Linux on a second disk. Is there a way I can tell FreeBSD in boot time how many cylinders, heads and sectors to use? My FreeBSD says this: ad0 16383/16/63. Although this is possible to tell it in Linux to Lilo.conf or at boot time, Linux is not my 8.4 GB disk. I thank you in advance, Juraj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
