When I choose in the menu (F1 DOS, F2 FreeBSD) choice FreeBSD, I get the error Error C:1056>1023 (Bios Limit) and then the system hangs. Someone in the news (thanks Mike), told me that it was because my bios couldn't boot on OS that is above the 1024th cylinder, and that I had to enable an option in my bios called LBA. I've look for such an option in every menu of the bios, but I couldn't find anything matching with this name. Is there another name for it ? Or is there another method to solve the problem ?
