Hello all,


	Can some one tell me the current state of large IDE HD's under FreeBSD 3.5
and 4.x I have a nice new IBM 45 GB hard drive and it doesn't want to play
ball under 3.5 ...

	I have split it up to 3 partitions, ( 20, 20, 5 ) and I can mkfs all of the
fine . and mount them too ... but a cd to the first partition causes the
error listed below..

Here is the info..
Thanks for any help.
