Hello. How large IDE drives can FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE support? And is this limit derived from the underlying BIOS of the computer or not? I have a 3-year old IBM computer, and I doubt its BIOS will handle disks larger than 30-40GB or so, and I might be interested in using one of the new 120GB disks if possible. Also, are there limitations to the size of the slices or partitions I can create? I've tried to look for this information in the man-pages and in the Handbook, but I couldn't find information about this. So if anyone can point me in the right direction (or just tell it to me straight away. ;) I'd be grateful. -- Eivind Olsen eivind@aminor.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
