Hello-
I am confused about partitioning my hard drive. I have one disk with the
following partitions.

Primary 1 - Windows 2000 Pro - NTFS : 5G
Primary 2 - FreeBSD - UFS : 5G
Primary 3 - Minix - MinixFS : 200M

Exented:
Logical 5 - Grub menu.list - EXT2FS 8M
Logical 6 - Swap - Linux Swap : 192M
Logical 7 - Debian - EXT2FS : 5G
Logical 8 - Redhat - EXT2FS : 5G
Logical 9 - BeOS - BFS : 4G
Logical 10 - Free Space - Fat32 : 3.5G


Is this the proper way to partitions this disk? I was told that only one
primary partition should exist on a disk. I am confused with debian because
it thinks it exists on /dev/hda11. I can't get it to boot with grub. Should
I create a couple of extended partitions and put freebsd and minix in those
partitions? 

thanks,
brian
