FreeBSD 2.0.5 CD won't boot up from my 1.26GB IDE hard drive. The
installer will recognize it, and it'll install, but the installation says
something about "bios can't reach partition" or some nonsense. 2.0 worked
just fine. What's up? FWIW, the parameters for the hard drive are
2448/16/63 (cyl/hd/sec).
