I recently bought a 2.1GB EIDE drive, which is too big for my BIOS to
autodetect. Now, it works just fine with Linux, but is totally invisible to
the FreeBSD 2.2.2 Installation Procedure.

I would think that there would be enough intelligence in the installation
kernel to be able to ignore the BIOS and communicate directly to the drive
in question.

Is there any way I can make it do this?
