I want the following OS installed: 1. Win98 2. NT 3. Linux 4. FreeBSD I have tried the following order: 1, 2, 4, but when partitioning in FreeBSD it only shows 1 (win98), and extended (which is the rest of the disk). So to install 4, i have to delete extended which erases 2 (NT). I did not install FreeBSD bootmanager (this is another story). After installation, during bootup I get "invalid partition table", etc. So I booted up with a win98 floppy, then fdisked, had a look, AND ALL FREEBSD PARTITIONS WERE 'A' set active and type is NON-DOS. OK, set win98 partition to be 'A'. Then tried installing NT and it says boot sector not recognized expected 'A5A5' but got '6A6C' or something like that. Then tried installing FreeBSD WITH FreeBSD bootmanager. During boot up it shows F1 - DOS, F3 - FreeBSD, F4 - FreeBSD, and pressed every bloody key but only accepts F1. What's the use of a bootmanager if it can't boot itself!!!! Then tried this order : 1, 4, 3, during LILO installation, I named the bsd partition option to "bsd", but when installing LILO, there was error. if remove "bsd" from patition label, then ok to continue installation. WEIRD.... OK, install linux. But up with lilo, went into linux, edited /etc/lilo.conf to have the bsd partition boot option, liloed but discovered FreeBSD is AFTER 1024 cylinders. WHAT THE ... IS GOING ON ???? WHAT'S THE ORDER TO GET THESE OS TO CO-EXIST ???? Sorry for the frustration...will battle on... cheers, ------_=_NextPart_000_01BEEAA5.6338DA2A Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 eJ8+IgoAAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQSAAQALAAAAUGFydGl0aW9ucwAtBAEJgAEAIQAAAEJBMDdDRDY5 OEE1NkQzMTFBMjg3MDAxMDRCMTVDRjAzAAgHASCAAwAOAAAAzwcIABQACgAuAAYABQA1AQEFgAMA DgAAAM8HCAAUAAoALQAJAAUANwEBDYAEAAIAAAACAAIAAQOQBgDoCQAAKwAAAAsAAgABAAAAAwAu AAAAAAACATEAAQAAAMQAAABQQ0RGRUIwOQABAAIAVAAAAAAAAAA4obsQBeUQGqG7CAArKlbCAABt c3BzdC5kbGwAAAAAAE5JVEH5v7gBAKoAN9luAAAARDpcbmV1dHJvblxvdXRsb29rXG91dGxvb2su cHN0ABgAAAAAAAAA6kKnFYyf0hGghgAQSxXPA6KAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAAAADqQqcVjJ/SEaCGABBL Fc8DwoAAABAAAAC6B81pilbTEaKHABBLFc8DCwAAAFBhcnRpdGlvbnMAQAA5APDx10Cl6r4BHgBw AAEAAAATAAAAWWV0IGFub3RoZXIgbmV3YmllAAACAXEAAQAAABsAAAABvuqcUCs4mejxVo8R065M AAjHJK3SAAGd9KAAAgEJEAEAAAClBAAAoQQAABkHAABMWkZ1Ji3QtQMACgByY3BnMTI10jIA+zM2 AeggAqQD4wkCAGNoCsBzZXQwNiAHEwKAfQqACMggO5sJbw4wNQKACoF1YwBQLQsDYwBBC2BuDhAw MyIzC6YgSSAQ4HZlCCBhIA4gR0IgSHhERC4KogqECoAWMHezAHAFQHRoFoACEGwJALMD8BVAIE8F 8AuAcwGQCxjgCYA6F1QxLiBXKQuAOTgXVDIaoE5UlRdUMxqgTAuAdXgXVIo0GqBGCdFCU0QXXPUW U3QIgWQYfQWwBIEaJigsIDIg4DQg4GJ1nQVAdxiQA6AKsXRpIiB/AiAZIguAHSYZgAVAAiBsMHkg c2gZAAQgMSB2KBkRGvApIOAAcB8QZbx4dAnwAQAfECRwaA3gfmgZgAQgGIIJcBmwIABmJRhzZAQA aykXRVNv7xhwKEAZlSEiaR51KEABAN8Z8CVgJTgl5ASQYREQBCB+MiRgG6AnsBYhJ3AfEG5+bwVA KJYi9gbgLKADgWH+ZwSQJGAYgCZBJkEAcCygrxiQBcAZsAWweSe2QQGA2y5hGZVhIkIg4GQIcRkx uS3SdXAWIS5QBUAiC4B+dgdALGEh9xhwAaAZ8CL7IOARIGMaoCgxFjAt0h8BfzJhA/AYgBaRJIMY sAkAcPxweSDgGIEDoAVwJ4EJgB8g4BDgHxAWoAkAb2ssRTAVTiNQQUxMHSBSBEVFIzJQQVJUSUk6 UE9OBfBXRTmwIPgnQScj4DLBANAiIBZysSURdHlwFoAmQU46kMwtRBlgF0VPSyDgO2J3NlQziShA YhaAOyEaoFR/IbIe1BmVGSIboCTzI3Fz/GF5BCAt0jtRO7AFsSyS6wlwBaBnAwB6HwElQDxw9zuw HwE7IDVEgDtAIWEXVIJnLKEnNkE2QztA/QWxcwNwESAl8BkxM0A3wL8YcTFAF0s/70DzIvZXOmDu SC1PLlEaoEQxyDWiQbJ1JANGJFAtS8AZYCDgRu4zTXEdNU3RNE4aF1QlAv5wJrERECUhFnAv0CFQ OHF+ZCPQN8BRESFxI6MA0GNeZQUwTTIaoUdRJyZUdb8RECbyFqAt2gaQI2JjAHAeJwVAQjMiMBEQ bGYh31ahR58e1iZBIBMgIGghMcIzMZdMSUxPMM0WMOcuMAeAHxRiczNqNtA+5v4iXGE0cSFnQJla cjcTCXD/GCEEIASQA2BLoBdUVTEJcP8EYBZxXeMYsANhIeEztQtg/T9gbDcVOJAoUgWgAjAcYcc8 gTDpGqFFSVIXMGYR3z1YKJZA8RyAGqBCIXE1tvczQAkAIOB3CfAssihhZ3NXNIEncDVyLzShL2ii Lv9kUScRKEAehFw/QjNdRE+W/2iiHwEhYidxBaBQ4R8BIvcxBCBBRlQ64BawMDJZTuBjeUDxBIFz F0VX/EhBQVBKUDsAZhEWIAXwIEdPSU5HGVBOIG4/c5EXWnICJwXwclJPS2XwcIFUWqBHRXIzUwd1 IXThWqBDTy1FWP9y0EFQc54n1mCgI9ACEAXA/RiDclPgHtBlVGYQA/Ao4fpiMUB0GfAjkWYnF1QQ 0K8J4BEAOLV8zwoR0QB+gAAAAAMA/T9SAwAACwAEgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAA4UAAAAA AAADAAaACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAQhQAAAAAAAAMAAIAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAA AFKFAAC3DQAAHgABgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAVIUAAAEAAAAEAAAAOC4wAAMAA4AIIAYA AAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAAGFAAAAAAAACwAFgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAADoUAAAAAAAAD AAeACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAARhQAAAAAAAAMACYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABiF AAAAAAAAHgAKgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAANoUAAAEAAAABAAAAAAAAAB4AC4AIIAYAAAAA AMAAAAAAAABGAAAAADeFAAABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAeAAyACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAA4hQAA AQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAwAmAAAAAAADADYAAAAAAB4AMUABAAAADAAAAERMRTY1MjAxOTI3AAMAGkAA AAAAHgAwQAEAAAAMAAAARExFNjUyMDE5MjcAAwAZQAAAAAADAIAQ/////wIB+T8BAAAAYwAAAAAA AADcp0DIwEIQGrS5CAArL+GCAQAAAAYAAAAvTz1URUxTVFJBL09VPVFMRCBLSU5HU0ZPUkQtU01J VEgvQ049TVMgTUFJTCBSRUNJUElFTlRTL0NOPURMRTY1MjAxOTI3AAAeAPg/AQAAAAgAAABMZSwg RGF0AB4AOEABAAAADAAAAERMRTY1MjAxOTI3AAIB+z8BAAAAYwAAAAAAAADcp0DIwEIQGrS5CAAr L+GCAQAAAAYAAAAvTz1URUxTVFJBL09VPVFMRCBLSU5HU0ZPUkQtU01JVEgvQ049TVMgTUFJTCBS RUNJUElFTlRTL0NOPURMRTY1MjAxOTI3AAAeAPo/AQAAAAgAAABMZSwgRGF0AB4AOUABAAAADAAA AERMRTY1MjAxOTI3AEAABzDAAPLHouq+AUAACDAq2jhjpeq+AR4APQABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAeAB0O AQAAAAsAAABQYXJ0aXRpb25zAAALACkAAAAAAAsAIwAAAAAAAwAGELSZ6FIDAAcQkAQAAAMAEBAA AAAAAwAREAAAAAAeAAgQAQAAAGUAAABJSEFWRUExMkdCSERESVdBTlRUSEVGT0xMT1dJTkdPU0lO U1RBTExFRDoxV0lOOTgyTlQzTElOVVg0RlJFRUJTRElIQVZFVFJJRURUSEVGT0xMT1dJTkdPUkRF UjoxLDIsNCxCAAAAAP1t ------_=_NextPart_000_01BEEAA5.6338DA2A-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
