I just bought an IBM 14GXP 14.4GB drive. The literature says that it should have: sectors: 28,229,040 cylinders: 16,383 sectors/track: 63 heads: 16 and as having 14,400MB When I boot with the 4.0-SNAP-990407 floppies, FreeBSD recognizes the drive as: sectors: 28,229,040 cylinders: 28,005 <===== sectors/track: 63 heads: 16 and as having 13,783MB That's approx. 617MB missing. Am I missing something? This machine has a Abit BX-6 motherboard that gives me 3 options for the IDE drive (normal, LBA, and large) -- it's currently at LBA. Thanks Viren -- Viren R.
