I installed successfully FreeBSD on a portable computer AST Ascentia A70
with
the following characteristics :
- 32 Mo RAM
- 2.1 Go Hard Disk.
I bought this computer with a primary partition FAT32 with Windows'95,
an
extended partition DOS and a third one I don't know.
The sizes were as following:
1 - Win'95 976 Mo
2 - Extended DOS 1 Go
3 - Unknown's one 80 Mo
While installing BSD, I deleted the partition 2 (Extended DOS) and
installed
FreeBSD there.
I got the following partition id:
1- Unknown 11
2- freebsd 165
3- Unknown 160
Then I install inadvertently Easy Boot Manager.
When the installation was completed, I rebooted and got the following
choice:
F1 ??
F2 BSD
F3 ??
I was afraid about Windows'95 and typed F1 and it worked normaly.
F2 worked also.
Could you tell me why Windows/DOS isn't written for F1 ?
Can I delete the partition 3 ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
J-P. Beconne
