It doesn't touch the performance tuning however, so whatever your BIOS has been telling the drive (PIO mode 3/4 etc.) will be used. You can use IDE disks up to at least 31.5 GB with BSD (if they are shared with other BIOS-using operating systems -- up to 127 GB if they are not to be shared). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
