If I remember correctly, FreeBSD (itself) doesn't use information from the BIOS. Frees should be able to see the entire HDD. If you get geometry warnings when you attempt to slice the drive, use an hdd utility to give you the correct geometry.
You may want to compare my suggestion with other suggestions or feedback. I hope that helps you. ------------------------------------- All incoming attachments get deleted.

Does anyone have any advice? How about using one of these IDE to USB racks from ViPower (www.vipower.com)? Do they work on FreeBSD? If so, will my HD work fine with it?
