I use both Partition Magic and System Commander and they work just fine for me (win95/freebsd 3.0). However, I'm set up differently. I run FreeBSD on a second drive (which happens to be scsi). The thing that bothers me is that you have *nine* partitions? and you want to run on the 9th? Sounds like you have an extended partition and maybe you are trying to use one of the sub partitions of that for FreeBSD. I tried that once with no success. I don't think it can be done, but perhaps someone here knows how to do it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
