Greetings,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 3.0-980324-SNAP on a dual P-200MMX system
I am running multiple partitions on a large drive, the total size is 1.6GB.
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
