Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm running a machine which has Win95, WinNT 4.0 and FreeBSD (2.2.6) installed on one disk. Nothing peculiar theses days. Now I wanted to upgrade WIn95 to Win98 and the Win98 installation failed right at the beginning when the setup examined the computer. It said, it cannot cope with a 64KB FAT partition. Hmm, is it that small slice that FreeBSD always creates when it asks the user to create a partition layout being compatible with future operating systems? -- Chris Christoph P. U.
