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.
