To install FreeBSD on libretto 50, you have to use dos fdisk to create one fdisk slice, and change slice ID later to 165 from FreeBSD sysinstall. If you fdisk FreeBSD slice directly from FreeBSD sysinstall, the tail of the slice (about 34MB) will be overwritten by hybernation data when you suspend the machine :-<. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi Network Technology Center Keio University hosokawa@ntc.keio.ac.jp
