Richard W. Gross stands accused of saying: > > Hi, I'm a freebsd newbie, and can't seem to get 2.0.5-RELEASE > to boot off my second ide hard drive. > > Boot: > partition is out of reach from the bios Part or all of the root partition is beyond the 1024 cylinder mark, and the BIOS can't load your kernel. You'll have to reinstall, and make sure that the root partition is entirely below 1024 cylinders (about 520M). This is a BIOS restriction, there's nothing that FreeBSD can do about it. > Richard W.
