The Longer one goes into greater detail. WaxDragon's first suggestion
was to use -hdachs to define the drive for the bios. I had to read up
well to do this but entered 65383,16,63 as my definition and still ended
up with exactly the same behavior.
-hdachs doesn't make a difference, unless the OS reads the size of the
hard disk from the bios.
If it gets its size from the MBR or partition table, it won't help at all.
There is probably a way to force freebsd into using a certain size or c/h/s
value for the hard disk. I recommend trying this to see if its just the bad
disk size thats causing problems.
