hello im trying to install FreeBSD, however when i try to make the slices for the / partitions it gives the error message : "This region cannot be used for your root partitions as the FreeBSD code cannont deal with the root partition created in that location. Please choose a smaller size or a different location for your root partition." and when i try to create a /usr: "unable to create the partition. Too Big?" the drive is a 3.2 GB drive using LBA in bios and I know it works, i can install RedHAt Linux 6 on it. the partitions are divided as follows. 78M --> Dos 2898M --> FreeBSD --> to be divided for the / and /usr 102M --> FreeBSD --> to be used as swap space thanks pls. send replies to me as im not a member of this newsgroup lachlan ______________________________________________________ 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
