Looming over this is the possibility that, after I install 4.11, it still
won't work, not because of a basic problem in the OS, but because I have
some setting wrong somewhere. I'd be grateful for suggestions on what to
check -- and for any history about when support for >127 GByte entered
FreeBSD. (Is this `lba48 support'?) I did go back and read release notes;
if it was in there I missed it.
