Fifty bucks to the person that is first to help me solve this problem. I have a brand new Asus A7V333 motherboard with the latest BIOS version 1007. I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.6 via floppies onto a brand new Western Digital WD1200AB 120GB IDE drive. I have installed FreeBSD many times before going back to FreeBSD 2.x.
The partition editor and disklabel only see 8056MB of my 120GB drive. In other words, I am being stopped by the 8.4GB barrier. Obviously, Asus' new motherboard supports IDE drives larger than 8.4GB. Following some suggestions, I wrote a slice and disklabels to the drive at 8.4GB. This did not help. The drive is still only being recognized at 8.4GB. Any suggestions how to overcome the problem are appreciated. I need to very badly copy some data from a FireWire drive with FAT32 partitions onto the new FreeBSD installation before 6 AM PDT.
