I am installing FreeBSD on a new Dell Optiplex GX 300 with a 20GB HD,
and I am wondering where I need to put the root partition to make it
bootable. Specifically I want to know if/how I can exceed the 1024
cylinder limit. What I have been hearing about this limit is
contradictory ("It shouldn't be a problem if you have a newer BIOS" and
"Your root partition must be below the 1024th cylinder or it won't be
bootable, period")
Also the Windows restore CD that I have will can only do an install that
puts about 490MB onto the disk, and I assume I will need more space on
the C drive because this doesn't even include most of the dirvers for my
hardware.
Right now I am trying to install 3,2-RELEASE, but I should be getting a
4.1-RELEASE CD in about a week and a half.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my questions.
