I can confirm that FreeBSD works fine with BIOS LBA. I have two versions of FreeBSD installed on my machine. One at the back of a 1.2 Gig EIDE disk, and one at the end of a 1.6Gig EIDE disk. The second install, by the way, is completely above 528MB. Been running this setup for over a year without any problems. Randall Hopper rhh@ct.picker.com
