Install: Getting beyond 2GB on old IDE
Hey,
I've got an old slug for fs work. Its got a Maxtor 8GB drive. When I
boot the system it hangs unless I use there jumper.
cyl, Heads, Sectors
Looks like 4092, 16, 63
Should be 16351, 16, 63
I thougth using cfdisk to tell it the truth would work but it doesn't
just giving error that it couldn't read the disk.
How / when in install do I get the full 8GB to work with. I'd really
like to get do it before the dselect.
TIA -- Greg.
