I am trying to get FreeBSD installed in a HDD of 60 GB. The HDD was =
very well recognized and it proved to be working just fine. The HDD was =
partitioned in 6 (six) slices.
1 - 15 GB
2 - 15 GB
3 - 10 GB
4 - 10 GB
5 - 8100 MB
6 - 564 MB
=20
The first partition is intended to run FreeBSD 4.5. I label it and =
it creates slices for /usr, /, /var and /tmp. The swap partition I added =
is the sixty partition of 564 MB. However, FreeBSD doesn't recognize =
this swap as part of the slice or something and then nothing can be =
installed. Why can't I use the sixty partition of 564 as a swap for the =
first partition of 15 GB ??? They are all in the same HDD but in =
diferent slices.
Ravi.
