Upgrading to BIOS 1011 fixed that, but have yet to try installing any software... Maxtor includes a little piece of paper warning that many BIOS can't handle more than 32GB. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
