Can FreeBSD be installed and booted above the 1024 cylinder limit ?
I have a 1.08GB EIDE drive and an IDEal - card( poor man's IDE enhancer).
The drive is partioned FAT + ext2 + ext2, each partition taking about
a 300M. Slackware is now residing on the middle partition(300->600)
and I would like to try FreeBSD on the upper one.

Regards,

Anders
