Hi
	I'm hopefully acquiring my first sparc64 (ultra5) and seeing as how
cheap big IDE drives are these days I intend to put a fairly large disk
in it and use it for network storage. Is it true that modern (more than
approx 100gig) disks need special IDE controllers to drive them? If so,
how big can I go with the IDE on an ultra5? Are there issues with the
OpenPROM limiting the size of drive recognised, and will these be moot
once the kernel has booted?

thanks
