Hi,

I'd like install FreeBSD on my PC. Before installation I'd like to
know some information here: Can FeeBSD be installed on EIDE hard disk?
I have 1.2G hard disk and a very old BIOS which doesn't support EIDE hard
disk, so I have to load EIDE disk manager first. However, this method 
didn't work under Linux, how about the FreeBSD. Does it also require
a new BIOS? Thanks for advance.

Ye
