Throughout the installation and other documentation both on and offline, the documents frequently warn about installing FreeBSD beyond the 1024 cylinder (about 528 MB I think). However, I recall seeing something about that only applying to EIDE drives. Am I correct in thinking that it does indeed only apply to EIDE Hard Drives and that I can install FreeBSD anywhere on the Hard Drive I wish? Thanks, Kent Slater kslater@vt.edu
