It has ibuilt limitation of 137Gb per HDD.It can NOT be turned off. So I made 2 RAID 0 arrays for each disk. However FreeBSD 7.2 sees full drives separately(skipping the raid) and installs perfectly fine.. However, the first boot fails - can not load kernel. On the same machine, Debain 5.0 installs just fine , sees full drives 2 x 320 Gb IDE and boots like charm. I prefer to have FreeBSD on the machine, but do I have choice ? Is there a solution ? Peter
