problem installing 5.3 with large drives

[Jef Dodson]

Does anyone know if BSD has a problem with largish hard drives.  I have tried installing FreeBSD
5.3 using a WD 250 GB drive and a Maxtor 200 GB drive and both have failed.  However, I am able to
complete the installation on the same system using a Maxtor 10 GB drive.  The WD drive fails to
write during the commit phase of the installation and the 200 GB Maxtor writes the filesystem OK
but then hangs at 9% while copying the base dist.  Thanks very much.
