Does FreeBSD 3.4 support IDE drives >32GB? More specifically: I have a Packard Bell P100 mini-tower that I have a Maxtor 36GB IDE drive in. The PB has an Intel IDE chipset (triton). The BIOS reports that it is an 8.4GB. I forced the BIOS to use LBA. I can mount the /home partition (which starts at 2GB and goes to the end of the drive) but the first time I try to write information to the drive (make a directory, touch a file, etc etc) the kernel panics and the fs is corrupted...
