Does anyone know if BSD has a problem with largish hard drives. I have tried installing FreeBSD 5.3 using a WD 250 GB drive and a Maxtor 200 GB drive and both have failed. However, I am able to complete the installation on the same system using a Maxtor 10 GB drive. The WD drive fails to write during the commit phase of the installation and the 200 GB Maxtor writes the filesystem OK but then hangs at 9% while copying the base dist. Thanks very much.
