Does the probe line (dmesg) show the right > cylinder count ?? Call me thick, and everything, but why can't it just be used in LBA/large mode? I seem to recall I have used disks in that fashion before, and the figures for the bigfoot disks are 1465/255/63 and 11680/32/63 Which are both under the 16383 'limit' that seems to exist.. Or am I missing something. I'll admit I am out of my depth here. Julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
