#define quoting(Søren Schmidt) // sos 1998/04/08 13:04:40 PDT // // Modified files: // sys/i386/isa wd.c wdreg.h // Log: // Add LBA mode support for large drives. // Use config flags 0x1000 to enable LBA mode. It should be enabled in // the BIOS too to avoid geometry confusion. // // One catch though, I'm not sure all BIOS's uses the 64head/63secs // translation, all mine does but.... You don't have any disk bigger than 2G, am I right ? My ASUS motherboard and most I have seen until now choose the translation based on disk size. Disk up to 2G -> 64/63. Between 2G and 4G -> 128/63, 4G and 8G -> 255/63. I've never seen a disk bigger than 8G, so I don't know how they would behave. The best option would be to ask BIOS for this info. How is the VM86 mode support going in -current ? :) Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 jonny@coppe.ufrj.br Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro UFRJ/COPPE/CISI PGP fingerprint: 29 C0 50 B9 B6 3E 58 F2 83 5F E3 26 BF 0F EA 67
