It's not a problem with FreeBSD detecting it, it's your motherboard. Buy a promise IDE controller. That will solve your problem :) Nick -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-config@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-config@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Marcelo Souza Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 11:14 AM To: freebsd-config@freebsd.org Subject: Large IDE disk / old BIOS Hi all, I know it's an old question, but I couldn't find the answer for this case. Machine: Pentium MMX 233Mhz, BIOS from 1997, hanging to recognize the 120GB IDE disk. I had to close that 32GB limit jumper on disk, to continue the boot. Q: How to make FreeBSD recognize the total disk capacity? Trying FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.
