Linux has the first 709MB + 64MB swap. I plan on installing FreeBSD on the third and fourth partitions (64MB and 711MB respectively). I have LBA set and the c/h/s is 787/63/64. The error that the partition utility in the install gives me is partition too big. even when I try to partition the 64MB (cyl 394-496 by linux fdisk) it says partition too big. System Stats: MB: Tyan Tomcat IVD Proc: 2x P-200MMX hda: s0 340MB Win95 partition hdb: s0: 64MB linux swap s1: 709MB Linux ext2fs s2: 64MB aimed for FreeBSD Swap s3: 711MB aimed for FreeBSD filesystem hdd: ATAPI CD-ROM Ram: 64MB EDO Hopefully this is enough info. I apologize for the linux device names, but I am not that familiar with FreeBSD yet. (which is why I am setting it up :) TIA, Mark Mark Szlaga mszlaga@umd.umich.edu http://www.umd.umich.edu/~mszlaga/ /dev/hdb5 - 0.5Gb of spinning metal, all alone in the night...
