On a pretty large drive.
I did something on the order of 12-16 OS installations on my PC
yesterday, because I didn't read the FAQ. Sigh.
But here's the situation:
I want to use 95, NT, and FreeBSD, and I want to use System
Commander 4.0 Deluxe to do so.
I'm using a 4Gb drive (Unisys/Seagate ST15150W, in case it
matters).
Yesterday I tried the following:
Three partitions:
Partition 1, 1357Mb, Windows 95
Partition 2, 1357Mb, Windows NT
So far everything was OK. Then I installed FreeBSD into
Partition 3, 1381Mb
And my Win95 OS went away.
Looks like this is because FreeBSD requires its root partition to
begin in the first 1024 cylinders of the drive ("2.15. What about
disk managers? Or, I have a large drive!").
So I have these OSs and these requirements:
FreeBSD First 1024 Cylinders
NT First 2048 Mb
95 First Primary Dos partition
Which kind of leaves me in a bind.
Any ideas? has someone done this before?
