[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.6 on a Pentium 133 with a Western Digital 40 GB Hard Drive (WD400BB). The BIOS and everywhere else see's it as a 40 GB drive but when I get into FreeBSD's FDISK part it thinks it's a 2 GB drive. I hooked up an 8 GB and FreeBSD thinks THAT is an 8 GB... So must be a problem with the 40 GB? Any ideas? Suggestions? I flashed my bios to the newest version. It's an ASUS TXP4 motherboard if that matters. Thanks in advance for any help!
