I am a systems engineer and I wanted some UNIX experience, so due to my
strapped budget I am going to install freebsd. I only have one pc, and I
currently have Win NT4 server and Win98 dual booting with ntloadr. I have
two hard drives one is a Seagaate 6.5 gig drive -which has the boot
partition and win98 and the other drive is an ibm 2.1 gig drive which has nt
on it. I have some questions that werent diretly answered in any of the
various FAQs that I read on your site and others:
1. I currently have 2 hard disks with 5 partitions combined- one 6.5 gig
drive with 4 partitions all fat16- and a 2.1 gig drive with one partition on
it- Do I need to add a new partition to install free bsd or can it reside in
a folder on any of these partitions?
2. Will freebsd partition whatever partition I install it to with FFS?
3. What modifications do I need to make to NTLOADR for freebsd to be a boot
option along with win98 and nt?
4. Here is the setup of my drives , do you have any suggestions on the
install?
Total free
C: (windows and boot partition) 1.67gb 646mb |
D: (applications) 1.99gb 1.25gb| Seagate 6.5GB disk
E: (swap file and page file) 1.04gb 524mb |
F: (files) 1.32gb 1.04gb|
G: (NT server) 1.96gb 944mb | IBM 2.1GB disk
I was going to either try to add a partition to G: using Partition Magic for
FreeBSD or just install it to a folder on G:, any ideas?
Thanks alot,
T. Freeman
