[geeks] Re: SunPCi Drivers

[Bruce Pullig]

I too tried to build a disk over 2GB with version 1.3, but I used the 
DONT_POPULATE_DISKS environment variable before building it.   What I ended 
up with was a disk that grows to 2GB and stops.  WinNT and Win2K only see 
it as 2GB.

I'm pretty sure you're stuck with 2GB with version 1.3.   I'd love to get a 
SunPCI II to test version 2.x.   But that probably won't be po$$ible for a 
while.
