I am running 2.2.7-RELEASE. I have a 10.1GB IDE drive. The BIOS sees the whole disk, but FreeBSD reports: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC310100B> wd0: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S I labeled the disk in the 'dangerously dedicated' way. The disk manufacturer's web site says that OSes have to understand some sort of BIOS extension in order to work with drives bigger than 8.4G. Is there a fix or will I always be a gig and a half short? Thanks in advance. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
