So the question is, if I jumper the drive to limit it to 32GB so the darn computer will actually boot (the BIOS freezes detecting the drive), can I get FreeBSD to recognize all 300GB? I probably should check the FreeBSD man pages, but being as ill as I am right now, I feel like asking you guys first (ya'll seem nice enough ;) )
You can try "dangerously dedicated mode" - now under the "wizzard"-mode in the fdisk-editor, where you create the partitions.
But I guess any 75$ PC from ebay will correctly detect and work with a 300 GB disk nowadays.
Is your time worth so little? :-) Rainer
