Hi... am still trying to install 3.2 on my computer.
Partitioned 800MB using Partition Magic - Primary partition.
I got to the place in the book where it uses the fdisk type program to set
aside something for freebsd.  Before the create command it looked like:
Offset         Size           End            Name      Ptype      Desc
Subtype      Flags
0                63              62              -              6
unused      0
63              9606807    9606869    wd0s1     2            fat
6
9606878    1638630    11205499  wd0s2     1            unknown   22
11245500  9828          11255327  -              6            unused      0

create suggest 9828 blocks <enter>
type of partition 165 <enter>
makes a wd0s3 freebsd but a size of zero !!!  Huh?
then the last line just shows the unused stuff again.
Why doesn't it allot the amount suggested?  Did I mess something up with
partition magic?
Thanks all !!!!!!
