Hi there,

I plan to purchase a 2gig scsi 2 hard drive to replace the IDE I have
now, the scsi has 2099 cylinders, and I heard that there is a problem
to have the freebsd and dos coexist at the same hard drive if the hard
drive's cylinders exceed 1024?  Is this olny true for IDE drive or it
is the case for SCSI also?  If so, how might I use the same drive to
load dos and freebsd?

Thanks!
