Dear FreeBSD users
I have a very strange problem when installing FreeBSD4.0
the installation seems to detect my 13 GB harddrive when booting up.
However the fdisk like partition editor only sees two large slices
both of them marked used, whose sizes seem to have no relation whatsoever
with the partition table under linux, which is the OS already present
on the driver
I enclose the partition table as put out by cfdisk in the following
Partition Table for /dev/hda
---Starting--- ----Ending---- Start Number of
# Flags Head Sect Cyl ID Head Sect Cyl Sector Sectors
-- ----- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -------- ---------
1 0x80 1 1 0 0x83 254 63 38 63 626472
2 0x00 0 1 857 0x05 254 63 1023 13767705 9221310
3 0x00 0 1 39 0x83 254 63 856 626535 13141170
4 0x00 0 0 0 0x00 0 0 0 0 0
5 0x00 1 1 857 0x83 254 63 917 63 979902
6 0x00 1 1 918 0x83 254 63 956 63 626472
7 0x00 1 1 957 0x82 254 63 990 63 546147
8 0x00 254 63 1023 0x83 254 63 1023 63 4096512
I did however manage to install FreeBSD on an virtual VMware disk
so the CDRom should be OK
regards and thanks a lot for any help in advance
