I´m not sure if this is necessary: as long as the kernel is under 1 GB, there shouldn´t appear a problem. For me, that problem appeared on my good old 486DX-80 at home with a Adaptec 2842 (VLB-SCSI-adapter, don´t blame, that machine just works and I´m not going to change it :-) ) when I decided to reinstall my system on the exchange disk I received from Quantum the one that went to hell some days ago at work. The 2940UW I used had extended translation enabled (the different is, that the mapping to this C/H/S scheme uses a maximum of 255 heads, where the older scheme used just 64 heads due to BIOS limitations, as I remember) and so I needed to enable it at home, too. Before I never cared about, as the drive was and is dedicated to FreeBSD and nothing else.
