[-- Attachment #1 --] I made a 1000 meg partition on my windows box. I attempted to install FreeBSD on it, but ran into a problem, it goes as follows - I changed the partiton from FAT ro freebsd, then i tried to label the FreeBAD partition. When I tried to use "auto defaults for all" i recieved this error : "Unable to create root partition. To big? " When I tried to manually create partition's I recieved this error : "This region cannot be used for your root partition ad the FreeBSD Boot code cannot deal with a root partition created in that location. Please choose another location or a smaller size for your root partition an try again! " The / partition that i was trying to create was 32M , i tried smaller sizes, as small as 12M (which probably wouldnt have worked anyway), and I still got this error. Any solutions?
