Date: 28 Apr 1996 03:34:10 -0500 Organization: Mississippi State University Lines: 19 Message-ID: <aak2.830680177@Ra.MsState.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ra.msstate.edu X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #2 (NOV) Does anybdy know if a way to get large IDE hard drives to work under FreeBSD ? I have a 2.5GB Western Digital and even though my BIOS reports its correct parameters to the OS, I cant get FreeBSD installed on the drive. If anybody out there has successfully installed FreeBSD on this big of an IDE drive, please let me know and I will shut up and start looking at things I may have done wrong. For now I think its FreeBSD that I have to blame. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Atif Khan aak2@ra.msstate.edu
