Here is my situation: I have a Quantum EIDE 3.2gig drive. On it I have win95 on a primary partition of 500 megs, (2) 1,024 meg partitions for data and programs (both are formatted dos and used by win95), and a 500 meg unformatted partition ready for FreebSD 2.2.5. I boot from the floppy and I get to the partition manager. It says to create a slice by selecting an unused partition. I see a 50 k unused partition, the 500 meg dos primary, the 2 gigs of extended dos, and an 8 meg leftover unused partition, but I can't get to the 500 meg. I can't see it or select it, so I don't know how to claim it, create the slice, and move on wityh the install. I'm trying for a dual boot win95/freebsd 2.2.5 machine. Can anyone offer me any clues on how to find my partition and complete the installation properly for a dual boot? I've practically memorized the faqs on freebsd.org.
