Depending on reference book, it claims that the Free BSD doesn't support EIDE, what is the meaning????? It means the hard dish is 505 Mb ?????? I am waiting for your quickly reply!!!! Thanks !!! > The 'doesn't support EIDE' means that some features of the EIDE specification will not work. It will support the large drive, though, assuming that the system BIOS cooperates, which most do. Boot the install floppy and see how FreeBSD sees the disk.
