      I am trying to install pfsense and am running into some problems where after install it wont boot
      then I notice while watching the boot screen that after install pfsense LBA mode on the hardrive is OFF
      and that is the cause of it not booting, why does pfsense turn off LBA mode on the Hardrive once you format and install pfsense
      is this something that the developers of pfsense can fix.
      I install a couple of different OS just to make sure and check while booting the the bios shows LBA for the hardrive as ON but then when you install pfsense the bios shows the LBA for the hardrive as off. so that a clean full good install of pfsense wont boot because its turns of  LBA mode on the SATA hardrive. using a Sata 250 gig and LBA mode is set to Auto in the bios only 2 option  auto/disable. can someone please look into pfsense and LBA mode thanks
