Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to buy a new harddisk smaller than 13GB. I found a workaround in creating more than one slice each of them smaller than 8GB but this workaround ends at 32GB. I use actually on my win98 machine in my Hardware-Shop the huge IBM 37GB Harddisk and hopefully look forward that there will be a way to use such a disk under freebsd...
