[-- Attachment #1 --] I recently replaced my 4.0 GB hard drive with a 15.3 GB one, and when putting FreeBSD on it, found that I could only access roughly 2GB of the entire disk. Now I had read about how this was a problem in various DOS formats, as well as Win95A, but I didn't consider it a factor when using the entire disk for a BSD install. Out of curiosity, I tried installing Win98 (the only other operating system discs I had on hand) to see if it was a hardware issue, but it recognized the entire drive with no problems. I've been looking for a solution to this for an hour or so, and I was hoping someone here could assist me on how to utilize the entire drive.
