Have you really, or did you just assume that "old" means "no LBA"? > I run 20+ assorted hosts from 4.11 to 7.2 Uni & Dual proc, i386 (real 386!) > to 686 & amd64 so I guess I'm > A) Pretty vulnerable to legacy scare. > B) A litmus tesst for a wider community of others, some with older kit, > not on lists or with bleeding edge latest hardware, but will > get hit when stuff eg HCS gets declared legacy=dumped. Do you seriously intend to run FreeBSD 9 on kit that is too old to support LBA? We're talking early nineties here. CHS doesn't scale past 504 MB, so any ATA disk larger than that must peforce support LBA. I bought my first 1 GB drive (Connor CFP1080) in 1995.
