HP DL 120 G7 and GPT on >2TB drive

[Tsuji, Hiroyuki]

Hello,

DL120 G7 is BIOS based and not UEFI based, so you can't boot from over 2TB drive...
The only UEFI based HP ProLiant model now is DL580 Gen8.

Best Regards,
Hiroyuki Tsuji

Subject: HP DL 120 G7 and GPT on >2TB drive

Dear,

I found the article on HP KB which points out that on nonEFI/UEFI compliant servers installation/formatting of, for example, FreeBSD 9 with GPT partitioning will not work.

After several tests, I noticed that on <= 2TB it works perfectly, but on
>2TB formatting does not occur.

Is there a simple way to make it work,  or I just have to accept current situation?
