Hello,
Yet, I am preparing to install FreeBSD on my computer.
The harddisk (ide) is partioned under DOS als follows;
Partition Status Type System
c:1 A primary dos fat16
2 extended dos fat16
So, partition #2 is an extented partion divided in 5 logical partitions.
D: (win95)
E: (nt4.0)
F: (applications)
G: (free)
H: (data)
My question is: How can I choose (seen by DOS) logical partion G: to
install there FREEBSD ?
The FDISK partition editor on the FreeBSD bootflop shows me the following
scheme:
OFFSET SIZE END NAME PTYPE DESC SUBTYPE
0 63 62 - 6 unused 0
63 56385 56447 wd0s1 2 fat 4
56448 4943232 4999679 wd0s2 4 extended 5
4999680 10080 5009759 - 6 unused 0
I'am a novice user so it confused me a lot. In the above scheme I have
to decide where I install FreeBSD. Where can I find "dos" partition "G:" ?
Or is it not possible to install FreeBSD in any logical partition ?
Thanks in advance.
