Subject:   How to install IBM 75GXP

I am trying to use IBM's new 75GB drive under FreeBSD 4.0 (4.1 when they
ship the disks).

Bios reports 148945 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track.

stand/sysinstall index/partition gives me 255 heads, which doesn't work.

So far, I have not puzzled my way through using fdisk and disklabel.

You would think big companies like IBM would make this easy -- we would buy
8 of their big drives immediately, if I can make this work.
