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.
