You need a SNAP newer than 980426, for this to work. Set your
drive in the BIOS to LBA mode and then modify (in the boot configurator)
the wdc{0|1} flags to 0xb0ffb0ff. That will enable LBA mode etc.
I just commited a fix to current yesterday, that allows normal CHS
mode to be used with large disks, so you could waoit until the next
SNAP has been produced on current.freebsd.org.
