Does anyone have a solid HOWTO or FAQ on how to accomplish this feat of magic? :-) I need both Windows and FreeBSD on my machine, but my IBM Deskstar 10 has 19650 cylinders, horribly limiting my booting options. The Award's bios' LBA tricks don't seem to have any affect. For Linux I just cp a kernel to /dev/fd0 and double check its rdev or use loadlin. Stuff in src/sys/i386/boot looks like it might help, but not with ELF kernels. Correct me if I am mistaken. /boot/loader + fbsdboot.exe just hangs... perhaps something extra I need to tell /boot/loader about its surroundings?
