Problems with the 1024 cylinder limits are BIOS limitations, not the boot loader. The FreeBSD boot loader will work fine with a >1024 root partition if the BIOS can deal with it. If the BIOS can't... sorry, Charlie. I don't know how it would be possible to work around the BIOS limitation (short of moving a small partition within the 1024 limit) no matter how good the boot loader is. -- Crist J.
