Tomas Garcia Ferrari: |In the document located at |http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multios/multios.html |says that you can avoid the often-mentioned 528MB limit using BIOS LBA. |How can this be done...? What do you mean? How do you enable BIOS LBA? You need to check your motherboard manual or browse your BIOS settings to see if your Motherboard/BIOS supports it. If so and you don't already have it on, backup a disk you want to convert to LBA onto backup media, change the BIOS setting to LBA, reformat your disk, and then put your data back.
