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 type of partition 165 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 !!!!!!
