Hi!

   I am a newbie to FreeBSD and Unix. Days before I got a FreeBSD CD-ROM
from Walnut Creek and I am eager to install that on my computer. But my
computer(with Award Bios v4.51PG)have only one harddisk that had been
partitioned into four parts, for SCO Unix(320MB), MS-Dos(127MB),
Extended(1.2GB, include a NTFS disk which reside a NT 3.51 server) and
OS/2(300MB). Because my SCO unix is not installed successfully due to the
fault of distribution disk, I intend to use the partition for SCO unix(which
occupy the first 320MB of harddisk) to install FreeBSD.

    My question is whether can I directly install FreeBSD with install.bat
from CD-ROM under Dos into SCO unix partition? What kind of HD mode should I
use(I select LBA mode to use Dos, NT server and OS/2 but select normal mode
and modify partition table manually to install SCO unix)?
