Before anything, I want to get some answer for these: 1. I want setup a multi boot system. Will freebsd be happy to stay in a 1GB primary partition? (If I find it attactive later, I will give it more space.) 2. I have Partition boot magic. Can it handle FreeBSD like it does with Linux? 3. what is the name for /dev/hda3 (linux) in FreeBSD. If possible, I wish to avoid using fdisk like tool. Will it work, if I use Partition Magic to create a ext2 partition for it? Thanks, Weizhong /just made freebsd 3.3 cd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
