It won't create a boot partition or swap partition. It keeps saying "Cannot create: Too Big?" I'm not selecting a boot manager. I have off size end none ptype Desc Sub Flags 0 63 62 - 6 unused 0 num num num wd2s1 2 fat 11 num num num wd2s2 4 extended 5 num num num - 6 unused 0 I chaned the fat one (I had it origianlly set aside for BSD at 3.2GB) to 165 FreeBSD and set it as bootable. I selected no boot manager. It asks me to select the a drive again. 'Create Boot Partition Inside 'fdisk' or whatever' It tells me to highlight partitions but there's nothing there. It's like the above little table but it's empty. -- As an unrelated aside, the last guy had a sig that knocked NT. Get this, I got this from ncworld.com: 'In a March 1996 interview with Infoworld Bill Gates said, "Compare the performance: Buy the most expensive Sun Microsystems Inc. box you can and compare its web performance to an expensive Windows NT box. Let's not joke around here: Pentium Pro processors have more performance than the RISC community is putting out. I'm not talking price/performance; I'm talking about performance in the absolute.' Yeah. Pull another fast one like that and you can fertilize a football field. l8r. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
