I'm trying to install a 20gig IDE on 
Solaris x86 2.7. I can't seem to get 
it larger than 8 gigabytes. The bios reports it as
lba 20gig. Is 8 gigs the maximum capacity for a partition (slice).
Do I need a patch or updated driver.
ASUS PIII 500 Mhz with 256 Megs of Ram.
One 8 gig harddrive and one 20 Gig harddrive.

Right off the back, solaris x86 would not install
on this machine until I got the updated configuration assistant
disk. So I'm wondering if this limitation is also requires an update.

Help?
