Entirely apart from the motherboard FreeBSD did not supporte LBA48 until 4.5-RELEASE. This means that with FreeBSD-4.3 you are limited to 128G when using IDE disks. Upgrading to 4.5 or later might help. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
