Then in Disklabels, create whatever mounts u need (or use the default). Use the freebsd boot manager (i think u'll need to configure it later to boot ur win partition). better go through any docs u might have. gautham ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 4:14 PM Subject: Does install slice or partition or whatever?
