(I followed the example on the webpage "Before installing from a MS-DOS partition" except without the CD.) Now, during the FreeBSD installation process when I choose Novice and later in the setup, it prompts for a method of installation (like FTP, MS-DOS partition, Tape Drive, etc.) I choose MS-DOS partition, but it says something like "primary DOS partition not found..." I remember indicating my DOS partitions in the partitioning portion as a type 6 partition (type 165 is FreeBSD??). I know; it's kinda hard to explain the installation process very well, but do you understand what's wrong?? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
