Hello, I've never tried to have a 2nd OS with FreeBSD before. I am building a new system and I have a blank 30.7GB ATA harddrive. These details about the 1024th cylinder confuse me a bit. The 4.1 release notes state something about fixing problems with the 1024th cylinder issue if you have a certain BIOS? If I want to give approx 15GB to FreeBSD and 15GB to winblows, how should I partition this new drive? Should I make a partition for '/' and the primary dos partition for installing winblows in the first 500MB and then use the rest of the disk to make my other FreeBSD and dos partitions? I would be grateful for whatever help you can provide! Thanks, Zach Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
