It's not clear what you are trying to do... did you create a
4Gb partition, or a 200Mb partition?
When you enter a number for the partition size, you enter in
in sectors, if you wanted a 200Mb partition you should have
specified the size as "200M" not "200" that would allocate
200 sectors (=100Kb)
Besides, I doubt 200Mb would be enough for *everything* (1
CD = 650Mb, and the dist is 4CDs = 4*650 = 2600Mb,
compressed).
Wht do you mean by the boot manager partition? The boot
manager does not requite a seperate partition (I think
OS/2's does, but i also think it's the only one who does).
You should create the partition you want to install freebsd
in, and then when you click `q` to signal you are done,
select the boot manager in the menu that would pop up.

Subject: Installation
I've just received 4 Greenbay CD-ROMs won at online auction,
and immediately
started with installation. Created 2 installation diskettes,
booted the system from kernel, and then through mfs root got
into installation
phase (in novice mode).
Following the instructions, created Freebsd partition slice,
and tried to
create the boot manager partition, just to get not enough
space message.
Now, I have more than 4Gb of free space on my C: drive, so
how come the
installer couldn't allocate enough partition space if all
it's needed is
about 200Mb for installing everything there is in FreeBsd ?
I need your help, please,
A. Shcherban.
PS. I've checked - the hardware is compatible.
