| As you know I've been testing centos on an old mac pro. I have 1
| disk left
| of 4 that I'm testing on. I had a 3TB disk and stuck it in and
| couldn't
| get centos to boot off of it. It would install, but not boot. I
| then got
| "old" disk 4 installed with it. Any idea why the 3TB disk doesn't
| work? I
| pulled out an os x 10.6.3 and that would install and boot. I resized
| the
| disk in osx and reinstalled centos, but centos still won't boot off
| the 3TB
| disk.
|
| Thanks,

To boot off of a 3TB disk you require a (U)EFI capable machine which supports GPT partitions. There is no way to boot a disk that is 3TB in size using a BIOS based machine.
