I am trying to install a Conner CFS1275A 1239MB IDE hard drive onto my
BSD 2.0.5 system. Unfortunately, I keep getting bitten by disklabel.
Whenever I try and label the disk, it gives me an ioctl error, telling
me the comamand is not supported by the device. Can anyone provide me
some insight on what might be going on here?
Has anyone else successfully installed a large IDE drive on their system,
and can you provide me with a list of commands so I know whether it is a
drive incompatibility or my own ignorance?
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
