I'm not running 3.4 but what I see in 4.0-Stable is the following ad0: 19541MB <Maxtor 52049U4> [39703/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33 ad1: 12416MB <WDC AC313000R> [25228/16/63] at ata0-slave using UDMA33 ad3: 6869MB <Maxtor 90720D5> [13957/16/63] at ata1-slave using UDMA33 acd0: CD-RW <Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8100> at ata1-master using PIO I started using the 20GB drive with 3.4 but had partition problems. The system would not recognize the 3rd parition, which was added after the FreeBSD slice. What was worse it would hang with the message about an "Illegal Partition" during the early bios recognition stages. When I went to 4.0, I didn't have any problems. I have one 20GB with the DOS extended partition first and another with the extended partition located in front of the FreeBSD slice. The arrangements were made depending on how much trouble it was to get "/" under cylinder 1024. There was a problem with my BIOS recognizing drives properly over 8GB. The latest flash was tested to 40GB. If you have a DOS mbr, it needs to be setup for large drives. You may want to force LBA with the flags 0xb0ff. FreeBSD will recognize the drive but you are going to have to play with your bios and setup to find what your magic combination is.
