Hi, I've got a hard drive with 2 primary partitions (for booting OS's), and = one big extended partition (type 15 I think) with a logical partition = for sharinf data between OS's. Being familiar with Linux, I thought I'd do the normal /boot partition = below cylinder(?) 1024 and then the /,/var and /usr partitions in the = extented partition, for FreeBSD. e.g. - NTFS: C: - FreeBSD: /boot - Extended Partition -- FreeBSD / -- FreeBSD Swap -- FreeBSD /var -- FreeBSD /usr -- NTFS D: Only problem being that the FreeBSD fdisk and labeling program doesn't = see the logical partitions inside the extended partition! I've already = got a lot of data on the D: partition, so losing the extended partition = is not really an appetising solution. Is the above config possible with FreeBSD or am I stuck?
