I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.6 via floppies onto a brand new Western Digital WD1200AB 120GB IDE drive. The partition editor and disklabel only see 8056MB of my 120GB drive. In other words, I am being stopped by the 8.4GB barrier. Obviously, this late model motherboard supports IDE drives larger than 8.4GB. Any suggestions how to overcome the problem are appreciated. I need to very badly move some data onto this new drive in the next 12 hours...
