I currently have Win95 and WinNT installed and runing and want to install FreeBSD. I downloaded the floppy image and the fix-it image along with a boot image with the drivers for my SCSI controller and began installing FreeBSD with a "Novice Installation" option, but when I get the warning about continuing installing the installation process aborts and it tells me it couldn't create the partitions. I created one 180MB partition for FreeBSD (although it is not formatted I specified the system to create a new file system) and within this partition I created one 30MB swap and 150MB root and usr, etc. slices with the label editor. What can I do to install FreeBSD on my system? Thanks. Jose, 74173.3311@compuserve.com
