HOwdy, I've just purchased the CDs of BSD4.0 Release (walnut creek), and am attempting to set up a new machine (my old dx2/66 is very quickly dying)... To that affect, I've got a new 486 system that I'm setting up, and wish to make it a samba server or something similar... I intended on purchasing a large (10gig plus) drive, but was informed by the helpful (?) person at the hardware store not to bother, as my bios would not be able to recognize the hard drive..... Before I discarded this idea totally (the samba server), I thought I would ask the people on this list whether this definately would be the case, I vaguely remember something on the list about Bsd can use the bios settings for HDDs, or manual settings... Any assistance would be gratefully received...... regards James From adelaide, South Australia To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
