I assume you mean your drive has more than 1024 cylinders.... FreeBSD will be able to use the entire disk (or what ever portion you give it) as long as the root slice (i.e. the "/" slice) is entirely below this limit (Keep this slice below the 520 meg point and you'll be fine)... If I'm way off or you have a different problem pleas repost the question with your drive parameters...and what other operating systems you have on the drive.
