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? > > Sincerly, > > Ryan Haarberg > The only such limitation I've seen in the BSD world is OpenBSD which IIRC has to be within the first 8 GB as of version 3.0 - I have FreeBSD installed at home on a disk somewhere past the 25 GB mark and have had it past the 40 GB mark as well.
