Hi all, I have an old 8G Maxtor disk I'm trying to install through /stand/sysinstall. I go to the Configure->Fdisk screen and it shows up as a 4G disk, so I set the correct cylinders/heads/sectors and then it shows up as an 8G disk at the top of the screen, but still only allows me to use 4G for a FreeBSD filesystem. Is there a trick to get this to work, or do I need to do this from a command line to utilize all the disk? If I have to do this from the command line, does anyone know the proper fdisk switches? Here's the layout of the disk: cylinders/heads/sectors 16383/16/63 TIA, Tony Wells To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
