I have a IBM Aptiva with 8meg memory. The hard disk is an EIDE set up us 
master and connected to local bus. It is partitioned as follows using FDISK 
that came with OS/2 Warp.

	primary partition --------------Boot Manager------------Startable
	primary partition ----drive c---pc-dos/win 3.1---FAT----bootable
	Extended partition----drive d---data files-------FAT----
				  drive e---min OS/2---------HPFS---bootable
				  drive f---OS/2 Warp etc----HPFS---bootable.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to install(Novice) FreeBSD on drive 'e' after deleting min 

   OS/2? This partition is 48MBytes in size.
2. If the answer to question 1 is no what should be changed? I am willing to
   re-partition the hard drive and re-install the other systems if there is  

   procedure that is known to work.
3. Is there a write-up that deals with the situation I have?

Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks

Chetty
