Thanks to all who answered my previous questions. My new questions: 1> My second HDD (IDE) is 45GB, the number of cylinders even after LBA-translated still is way over 1024. Will it cause a problem? 2> Do I have to worry about the 8GB barrier i.e. keeping the FBSD boot partition (as well as other boot partitions) within the first 8GB? All this limitation with the BIOS vs. the partition table, etc. are quite confusing. :-) The BIOS is quite new (05/2000), BTW. Thanks.
