Description Rob Manchester 2001-08-04 13:20:02 UTC 
The  buslogic driver checks the wrong bit in the "undocumented" geometry
register.  When a disk larger than 2G is used, the geometry returned by 
the bios is inconsistent with the geometry used to install the boot
loader, so you can't boot.

Fix: this is an exciting one.
How-To-Repeat: 
Try an install on with on buslogic cards this driver supports with a
disk greater than 2G and watch freebsd not boot.
