|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.
|
|TIA,
|
