Endsley) Reply-to: me@corecom.net Date: Fri, 28 Mar 97 08:45:52 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Geometry questions X-Mailer: MR/2 Internet Cruiser Edition for OS/2 v1.26 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I have read all I can and searched all I could for "easy info" for installing FreeBSD- hence my question here. I have a dos partion set aside for FreeBSD which is my "E" drive. FreeBSD shows me 3 slices: Primary (dos) extended (dos) OS2 Also, 2 "slices" that show none. I assume the first small area is MBR FreeBSD wants me to use the bottom item on the list of slices but the numbers don't corresond to what I have set aside (E-drive) When my HD is probed at the beginning, it shows the correct numbers for my WD 1.6G drive. Can anybody help me or do you need more info? Thanks from a total newbie (just downloaded the floppy installation disk 3 days ago).
