hi.. sorry about the other attempts and the bad formatting
TRY #2?

Hi... am still trying to install 3.2 on my computer.
Partitioned 800MB using Partition Magic - Primary partition.
I got to the place in the book where it uses the fdisk type program to set
aside something for freebsd.  Before the create command it looked like:
Offset     Size      End     Name      Ptype   Desc Subtype    Flags
0          63        62      -         6       unused   0
63         9606807   9606869  wd0s1     2       fat      6
9606878    1638630   11205499 wd0s2     1      unknown   22
11245500   9828      11255327  -        6      unused      0

create suggest 9828 blocks <enter>
type of partition 165 <enter>
makes a wd0s3 freebsd but a size of zero !!!  Huh?
then the last line just shows the unused stuff again.
Why doesn't it allot the amount suggested?  Did I mess something up with
partition magic?
Thanks all !!!!!!
