Could anyone tell me if FreeBSD kernel supports EIDE ISA HDD ???? I've got 
problems with labeling it.

This is my /etc/disktab entry:

ourwd|Western Digital generic 1200 MB IDE:\
        :ty=winchester:dt=EIDE:se#512:nt#12:ns#63:nc#2484:\
        :pd#2500000:od#0:bd#8192:fd#1024:td=4.2BSD:

And system answer is:

green:/etc {9} disklabel -w -r /dev/rwd1 ourwd
partition d: partition extends past end of unit
green:/etc {10}

What's the problem ...
