 I think that not being able to access greater than 2GB makes it difficult
 to setup a large disk, even if you are keeping the individual partitions
 to less than 2GB. I don't know the exact details, but the version of SunOS
 that I had just wouldn't do it. Maybe there was a patch or update which
 would have fixed the problem as you describe. 
Well as I said. I'm typing this on a system with a 4GB disk, and
recently retired a client's system that had a 9GB disk.

I'm running stock 4.1.4 (well, the non-stock parts are not Sun
supplied-- I have some Stanford patched modules that support
multicast, and more importantly to me, BPF. I also have ip_fil
filters, which replaced some IP files as well).
