I had hoped to install FreeBSD from my primary dos partition, to my unused space. The FreeBSD installation program will not recognize my primary dos partition. Am I overlooking something? Is this a known problem? Any commments, suggestions, flames would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. T.
