I used the FreeBSD 4/12 installation to fdisk the drive. I put 100M in the first partition for MSDOS and used the rest for FreeBSD. I've never had much luck using large drives in DOS because the DOS fdisk program is a dog. The one in the FreeBSD install is very clean. Someone should port it to dos. ;) Works great from DOS or BSD. The 1st 100 M DOS partition is so I could install OS-BS as a boot selector and play Doom. Derek Laufenberg laufen@sol.med.ge.com
