Hello in my beginning days of bsd and linux etc there were many
documentations indicating that the root slice of FreeBSD cannot be
beyond the 1024th cylinder.

I was wondering if in today's now commonplace world of 20 and 80 GB
drives if this still holds true.

Take for example if I have a nice lil IBM or Seagate 40GB drive and I
take the first half for Win98 and I Install FreeBSD on the second 20GB
partition, what will be the consequences?
