I installed Windows95 on the first 503 meg (It was all dos would see). And then I installed FreeBSD on the remaining 1+ gig. I rebooted the computer and it gave me this message: > > Boot: > Error: c:1024 > 1023 (BIOS limit) > ya the system bios is limited to 1024 cilenders 500 megs is as big as it goes with out a new bios, a bios on your eide card to handle it, or an overlay file.. i am not sure how it would work for dos and bsd but that is what is going on.. ig the GSI card has a built on bios i would RTFM on it and set it up..
