If you had booted from the floppies then you would see the same oddness with FDISK. What I recommend you do is create a bootable Win98 CD then copy over the \windows\command\fdisk.exe and \windows\command\format.exe programs. Then download the IDE "low-level" utility from Maxtor. Then reboot your system with the bootable win98 floppy and run the maxtor utility to clear everything off your hard disk, including all partition information. Next, reboot with the win98 bootable floppy and run fdisk, go to create the primary DOS partition, and when it says "do you want to use the entire disk" say NO then put in however many gigs you want to devote to win98. (you may have to turn on large partition support but if you are OK with only 2GB to win98 then don't. Then set the partition active and exit fdisk and reboot to the win98 floppy again. Then run format c: (not format c: /s) and create a DOS/win98 partition. Then boot from your win98 install CD and install win98 on the C: drive. When that's done then boot from the FreeBSD install CD and in the FDISK screen you should now see the rest of the empty space that you can select to create the FreeBSD partition on. By the way, you didn't say how big your disk was, or how old your HP was, but keep aware that older PC's BIOS's couldn't deal with IDE disks larger than 8GB. Windows put a fix in there for that which let's it get around this but of course it only works if the only thing you have is Windows on the system. You may want to check the HP website to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your system's BIOS if indeed it does have this problem.

I know that the kernel is seeing my modem. Its identified in /var/log/messages I recompiled the kernel and told it to build the module umodem because I have an external usb modem (3com 5606). I've enabled cuaa2 cause in wandows my modem uses com3. I had to tell the kernel to use irq7 because it was one of the only unused irq's in my system. I can send you any other info you need to help me figure this out. Thanks for you patience and help. Abe ===== Jesus saves.

I would figure out what's wrong with your install floppies, and use them. I have never had a problem using 1.44M floppies for FreeBSD install. I suspect that your floppies are bad. Since the floppies are written raw, more than 1,457,664 bytes will fit on them. I usually use Unix dd to make mine, not rawrite, however. Make sure that you format them first, and use full format, not the default "quick" format.

Or set the position the CD drive is taking up (i.e. 2nd master) to auto, and that may find it. Note, however, that the BIOS doesn't have to find the drive for FreeBSD to be able to find and use it.

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.
