Hi !

I want to add a large IDE HDD drive (81.9 GB - Maxtor DiamondMax 98196H8) to
my NetBSD system (1.5 ZA snapshot). Unfortunately my BIOS doesn't support
such large drives (mainboard: Asus P/I - P55T2P4, BIOS: #401A0-0103, I've
updated the BIOS recently). Is there any chance to access the whole disk
with netbsd? If yes, how do I have to partition the disk?

Thanks a lot for any hints.
