English" X-Sender: englishk@felix To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Dos Partition Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Alrigth, I've been fooling around with the install of Freebsd on and off for a couple of weeks. I downloaded the files from your ftp. I want to install from my dos partition but when i goto media in the custom option, I select the dos partition option and it says, "No Dos Primary Partion Found." SO that's as far as I can get. I have windows 95 B (OSR-2), I don't know if that matters. I would like to avoid installing from floppies so I just wanted your opinion on if this is necessary or is there a way to get around that error? Also, when I run fdisk. I do see the non-dos partion but obviously when I choose that option (F2) at boot up, I get all kinds of errors so I assume none of the files got copied. Thanks for your time and help, Kevin English
