I plan = on installing Win XP, Free BSD, and BeOS. Are there any restictions I = should keep in mind on partitioning? I plan on formating three = partitions as FAT 32. The first one 24 Gb with Win XP (for work), then a = 2 Gb for learning FreeBSD and then a 2 Gb for an old favorite BeOS. The = only thing I am wondering is if this layout will work? it seems that I = had read somewhere that FreeBSD should be within the first 4 Gb of the = first hard drive (but I can not seem to find this in the FAQ, is this = true. Do you have any reccommednations?
