This can't be a bug or limitation in FreeBSD's fdisk, it must be a quirk in your hardware (we've all seen them hehe!). Since 4.5, I've had FreeBSD installed on several boxes with enormous hard drives in various partitioning schemes without a glitch. I had issues once with OpenBSD wanting to be on a smaller partition, but never with FreeBSD. # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
