I have 4 partitions: 400 MB FAT (Win 95) 1000 MB NTFS (NT 4.0) 700 MB FAT (for FreeBSD) 2000 MB FAT (Data) FreeBSD setup recognizes the first FAT partition and only one extended partition with 3700 MB. The BIOS does not support a mapping for large harddisks, but this should be no problem with FreeBSD (NT and Linux recognize these partitions, Win95 doesn't).
