Hi all,

I have an old Pentium Pro system that I would like to install FreeBSD
4.6.2 on.  Unfortunately, its BIOS has the 8.4Gb limit, and I can't find
an upgrade for it.  The only drive I have available is a new Maxtor 40Gb
unit.  I can boot and install from the CD-ROM, and everything is OK, but
I cannot get it to boot on its own.  I have tried some of the
suggestions in the FAQ, but I still cannot get it to work.

Any ideas would be appreciated (or if anybdy knows a source of new
<8.4Gb drives).  Thanks.
