>Environment:
Computer with 13.6GB ATA hard disk, AMD K6-2 processor, 64MB memory,
Asus P5A motherboard.
>Description:
13.6GB ATA hard disk is divided into fdisk partitions of
(approximately) 4GB, 2GB, and 6GB.  Trying to install FreeBSD on
the 6GB partition.  When in the disklabel phase, trying to make a
200MB / filesystem at the beginning of the 6GB partition fails
(says that it is too large).  Auto defaults for the disklabel
phase also fails.  (The 4GB and 2GB partitions have Linux and
NetBSD on them.)

 I had problems with a much smaller HD.
 
 I managed to cure it by setting boot0conf to use
 'packet' mode - ie not CHS disk parameters.
 
 I think this should be the default for larger
 (over 540MB) HDs.
 
 I cannot guarantee its your problem though
