If FreeBSD does not support LBA, then what is the maximum size drive that is 
supported on the IDE interface.  

Are IDE cdroms now supported?  

How about IDE tape drives as rare as they are?  

What about these new pentium motherboards with two IDE controllers.  Are 
four IDE hard drives a supported configuration?

Is there any striping or mirroring software available to split the data 
accross several drives?

Thanks for any answers.
