Hi, After the discussion with you folks in this mailinglist, today I tried to Install FreeBSD. While Partition Creation Screen(DiskLabel Editor), I am seeing 2 issues. 1. In the normal x86 installation, sysinstall first create the Slice in the selected Disk and then it will goto DiskLabel Editor to create partitions on the slice. I couldn't see this step in IA64 install. It skips the Slice creation and directly Goes to Partition creation Screen. What is the reason behind this? 2. In the current partition creation(disklabel editor) screen, I can see only EFI partition as 100MB size. Actually I already has RedHat AS 2.1 installed on this machine. But that ext2 & swap partition are not displayed at all. Will sysinstall/IA64 doesn't understand Linux & other Oses(windoz)? In other way, how can I dual boot Linux & FreeBSD on PE3250? Last week while doing autopartitioning it corrupted my existing Linux Partition (ie: It occupied the entire disk except the EFI partition). At that time I didn't noticed it, so I was wondering what went wrong. Now I got the glitch. Any pointers? Thanks. --T. Muthu Mohanhelp
