Using Virtualbox (6.1.18 r142142) with Buslogic & IDE, I booted a fedora 33 (5.10.15-200.fc33.x86_64) server ISO and I find *many* targets with size 512 bytes which is incorrect. To get another data point, I used same VM and a NetBSD 9.1 ISO and that booted with the expected configuration. Although, it still could be a VM hardware model issue. Expected: 1 80GB IDE disk & CDROM 1 2GB SCSI buslogic attached disk Found: 1 80GB IDE disk & CDROM 120 512-byte SCSI disks snippet of dmesg ...
