It's not a problem with FreeBSD detecting it, it's your motherboard.  Buy a
promise IDE controller.  That will solve your problem :)

Subject: Large IDE disk / old BIOS

Hi all,

	I know it's an old question, but I couldn't find the answer for
this case.

	Machine: Pentium MMX 233Mhz, BIOS from 1997, hanging to recognize
the 120GB IDE disk.
	I had to close that 32GB limit jumper on disk, to continue
the boot.

	Q: How to make FreeBSD recognize the total disk capacity?

	Trying FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.

TIA,

- Marcelo
