Hi everybody,
I have a dual-boot arrangement with Win2k (on the first and second
partition) and FreeBSD 5.4 (on the third partition). I am willing to
sacrifice the second partition and give it over to FreeBSD as I am lacking
space there. I'm just not sure how to proceed.
$ fdisk ad0
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=77545 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=77545 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
start 63, size 40965687 (20002 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 12 (0x0c),(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT (LBA))
start 40965750, size 12289725 (6000 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 53255475, size 24900750 (12158 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
The second partition is FAT32 because I was mounting it from within
FreeBSD.
Any help is appreciated.

Peter
