Hi,
I am installing 2.2.6 on some systems, and they have 12Gb IDE drives 
(Maxtor 91360D8), but when they probe in FreeBSD it shows them as 8Gb.
They have 26353 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors (so sayeth the
label anyway) FreeBSD thinks they have 16383 cylinders (so does the BIOS
when I do autodetect).

What can I do? :)
