I'm using Windows 98 on my 20Gb HD and is a partition A which is 10GB. The other 10GB is for FreeBSD. Unfortunatly, FreeBSD (5.0-CURRENT) can't boot at power on when installed because of the damn BIOS's crappy 1024 cylinder limit. Is there a way around it without having to boot FreeBSD from dos? BTW, I using a Microstar K7Pro in case you need this info. Thanks, Nicolas. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
