Hi,
I want to install FreeBSD 4.4 on my Intel-PC in place of
(Linux) partition /dev/hda7.
Is the FreeBSD FDISK screen underneath the way to do it?

Some more questions.
- under FreeBSD FDISK if Name=X does it mean this slice is not
usable / reachable?
- Can I reach / work on both DOS (fat) slices.
- How do i make the FreeBSD bootable in order to boot
FreeBSD, Linux and Windows via PartitionMagick (BootMagick)?
Thank you very much.
