Thre are utilities availible for Windows/DOS that allow you to get the BIOS and chipset versions etc from a command prompt. Some of these are written by the BIOS manufacturers or motherboard manufacturers but most are third party freeware jobs.
Is anythign similar availible for FreeBSD? I have a server hosted remotely, and I need to know which version of the BIOS is in it (it's quite old). I need this to know whether it will allow me to plug in drives larger than 8gb. Also I assume BIOS assume BIOS support is required for drives greater than 8Gb, for me to use said drives with FreeBSD? I'll be booting off a 2Gb drive but feel there's a chance my BIOS doesn't support a 20Gb drive. Can I still use it as secondary master?? Yes, I am talking about the 8Gb limit that was overcome several years ago :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
