McGee" Subject: Installationof FreeBSD 2.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Sorry to bother you, but I am a newbie and your installation process has me stumped! I make the boot diskettes, boot up, use fdisk to allocate space (~1GB) on hard disk zero and then get stuck. When I go to disklabel to allocate space to /, /usr, etc., I always get the response 'invalid partition'. There is no (S)ize option, as your doc files state so I tried all the options and I am just not getting anywhere. Help! Help! I know I am missing something, but I can't figure out what. I am trying to install 2.0 on a Dell OmniPlex Pentium 90MHZ with 32MB of memory, one 2GB hard disk, 3.5 and 5.25 diskette drives, a NEC 3X CDROM drive and an Adaptec 1742 SCSI adapter.
