Hi;
I'm writing because everywhere I've looked I can't find anything
that even remotely resembles my problem. I'll start with my system
configuration.
Pentium3-500mhz
128M RAM
13G IDE Hard Drive
2 ATAPI CD drives (1 is a burner)
Microsoft Intellimouse PS/2
Standard Keyboard
Already has WIN98 installed (with progs and whatnot taking up 2.8G
space)
56k Modem, pretty sure its PnP
Voodoo3 3000 AGP graphics
SB Live! sound card
Accton Etherlink 10/100 NIC
Ok....so heres the problem. I use Partition Magic to create a partition
within the cyclinder boundary leaving me with 1 3Gig partition for windows,
1 3Gig partition for FreeBSD, and 1 7Gig partition formatted as FAT32 for
windows progs. That finished Partition Magic only formats for Linux, so I
have the partition I'm going to use for FreeBSD formatted in the ext2 format
for Linux. I reboot using the install CD for FreeBSD, all boots up fine
into the installer, I gang anything SCSI from the kernel config, I figure I
have no need for it, my type of NIC card is not on the list so I don't
install any support for it via the kernel config, so I'm left with some IDE
controllers listed and no conflicts at all...I go with that, dumped into the
disk slice screen, I change the linux partition to type 165 (FreeBSD) and
set it bootable. Next screen is for partition of the FreeBSD slice, here is
where my problems start, I try to partition the FreeBSD slice into ANY point
(/, /usr, /var, etc etc)...trying to get the partition to take. In each
case it says that it cannot make the partition in that area. I am following
a tutorial I got off of one of the sites as well as checking the handbook
(printed everything I could find out), nothing mentioning this and nothing
saying I've done anything wrong. The exact message (trying to remember) is
"Unable to create partition in that area, too much space?". I am creating
the partition to 256M as instructed in a tutorial I printed. I've gone
through all the websites I could find and read as much as I could and still
haven't seen where I went wrong...If you folks have any idea please let me
know....oh yeah..its the FreeBSD 4.0-Release thats I'm doing this with (the
tutorial shows a novice installation option to use but theres no such thing
on this installer that I can see so I'm using standard).
