Hi
 I have a 486 with a promise 2300 card. What this does is to enable LBA
mode on computers whose bios does not natively support it.
 The disk in question is a Quantum 2.5gig bigfoot. The bios detects the
hard disk and assigns the right size.

 However, when the machine boots, the disklabel is not recognized.
Everytime i have to boot, i have to manually run disklabel -er /dev/wd1
and then choose to overwrite the label. The data on the disk is always ok.

 Is there any way to correctly fix this?

 Thanks

Chris
