I tried to create partitions for Freebsd using FDISK but It does not detect my disk correctly. The thing is I have a 37 Gb of Hard Drive; 5 Gb are allocated for Windows 98 (FAT32), ~23,5Gb for Windows XP (NTFS) and I have the rest of Disk partitionioned with Gentoo. I thought to use this partitions for Freesbd. That's what appears on Fdisk screen: Disk name:ad0 DISK Geometry: 4865 cyls/255heads/63 sectors= 78156225 sectors (38162 MB) Offset Size (ST) End Name PType Desc subty Flags 0 63 63 - 12 unused 0 63 10249407 10249469 ad0s1 7 fat 11 10249470 67890690 78140159 ad0s2 4 extended DOS, LBA 15 78140160 25200 78165359 - 12 unused 0 Besides I received a message as ad0 geometry is incorrect Can somebody help me please?
