I don't think a "you folks" attitude will get you anywhere and if you're no= t a=20 developer you probably should consider changing your emailaddress as it=20 doesn't really fit your attitude (or in fact - maybe it does). What would be useful is to post the BIOS vendor you're using, motherboard m= ake=20 and harddisk, along with the reported values by the BIOS and fdisk. Preferably use the form located at after having read the bug-writing=20 guidelines: http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html That makes sure it's entered into the bug tracking system. Also know that: 120GB on a harddisk cover means 120 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 bytes, which equal= s=20 111.75 GB in the rest of computerland. =2D-=20 Melvyn =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =46reeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #3: Tue De= c 30=20 14:31:47 CET 2003 =20 root@sarevok.idg.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SAREVOK_NOAPM_NODEBUG i386 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D --Boundary-02=_jSDEAPEunNFbay5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAEDSjOv9JNmfFN5URAmVWAJ9m8RL8zEaJVW0RMSARnSILRdIPOACghq+B y6BG6nuAk6JQcRqUqEissRg= =kiTm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_jSDEAPEunNFbay5--
