# dmesg | grep wd1
wd1 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 1: <IC35L040AVVA07-0>
wd1: 16-sectors PIO, LBA, 32253MB, 16383 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 66055248 sectors

During the installation, i've created following partitions:
         size            offset          fstype  [fsize  bsize   cpg]

b:      524097          65519118        swap

I think is not a problem of large drives, cause if i use the same disk as 
wd0a, all works fine and boots correctly.
