I am complete new in FreeBSD. I collect FreeBSD3.3  two CD's from one of
my friend but he not
use this OS. So  please help me to install FBSD3.3  . Please inform how
to make partition and boot.

I have 2 harddisk both 6.4 GB. One  for Redhat 6.1, SuSE and another
harddisk   i like to use FreeBSD(FBSD).
I like to install (boot)directly from CDROM.
please inform how to create partition ?
I want to create one partition for FreeBSD(like to complete use 6.4GB)
because i'm single user.

For your information , i use  fdisk to create partition for linux , like
this way :-

n -> p -> (1-4) ->  1 -> cyl (1-784) -> 1 -> size  + 2800 M
n -> p -> (1-4) ->  2 -> cyl (358-784) -> 358 -> size +2800M
n -> e (1-4) -> 3 -> cyl (715-784) -> 715 -> size 784  [to create
extended partition]
n -> l  -> cyl (715-784) -> 715 -> size  750
n -> l -> cyl (751-784) -> 751 -> size 784

To create swap partition :  t -> (1-6) -> 5 -> hexcode 82
To active partition :  a -> 1

Please give me your expericence which you apply yourself.
Please note, In linux I create two partition because I use 2 linux OS
but  I like to use FreeBSD
complete in 6.4 Gb  so  please inform how can i create partition
complete for FreeBSD.
and also please inform how can i boot with  FreeBSD boot loader instead
of LILO.

Please help anybody. waiting prompt reply.
