I need some help. Skipping the hardware configuration portion of the
installation, I am confused as to how and where my BSD slice should go.
I have a 6.4 gig hard drive, and I am running Windows 95. I have
windows installed on the primary partition, the first 2 gigs, then I
have 3 logical partitions. I was intending the last partition to be the
one I installed BSD on, which contains about 1 gig.
When I get to the screen to create a slice, I am given 3 selections,
with the middle selection being what I assume is the partition with
Windows. I am lost with this process, because it is giving me sector
ranges relating to the 3 choices it is giving me, and I have no idea
which sectors to install on, and how to create
-my root,
-my user
-and one other directory with it's own slice.
If this makes any sense to anyone, I would greatly appreciate you help.
