Is it possible to install it to a logical drive (into a drive in an extended DOS partition)??? Or, the corollary for me, would be to install FreeBSD to that partition freeing space on another device for NT?? If the latter, can I trust cpio (on my FreeBSD 2.1.5) to replicate my current BSD slice in that extended DOS partition? I can make space that way as well. The reason I may need to mov e FreeBSD is that my BIOS is old (the >1023 problem), and NT Wkstn refuses to perm it any space beyond that barrier to be used by ANYTHING! In fact, it won't install if it sees anything out there (I know, I've tried). Interesting that it sees it , but won't permit it to exist out there because the BIOS doesn't allow it to exis t. Neither Linux or FreeBSD are that paranoid, as long as the root doesn't begin beyond that limit. In this case, uSoft costs me over 300MB's of disk space..... Damn!
