(I'm not > familiar with SCSI) With i386 and amd64, you will need to boot off of another volume in order to use a volume larger than 2TB because the only supported partition type is MS-DOS MBR which has a 2TB limit. (You're also apparently running up against limits in sysinstall, but that's fairly immaterial) To use the volume at all, you will either need to install a UFS file system on it directly or create a gpt partition table. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
