This depends if your computers BIOS supports disk packet interface, see 'man 8 boot0cfg', scroll down to -o options, option packet.

Re: FBSD boot loader?
Is there a 1024 cylinder limit on the first slice for a dual boot PC system using the FBSD boot loader? I presume there is, but I couldn't find it in the handbook. Maybe I missed it. Not if you have a reasonably recent BIOS. FreeBSD can handle it just fine as long as the BIOS can deal with it to get started. This is a question handled often and I believe there is a FAQ on it that can explain it much better than I can. jerry Thanks, John -- John Conover, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.johncon.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Somewhere between 1997 and 1999 this stopped being a problem for FreeBSD, which will boot from anywhere the BIOS allows it to. See URL: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-4.html.
