Booted from the floppy, tried to create a partition for FreeBSD with the fdisk partition program. Don't want to wipe out Windows. Fdisk does not have a clue how big the hard drive is -- it only sees about 40% of the 1.6 GB drive. It won't let me create a partition for FreeBSD thats has size other than 0. Do I have to change the Disk Geometry? Is there a reference to help me do this? -any help is appreciated To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
