I am trying to get = FreeBSD=20 installed in a HDD of 60 GB. The HDD was very well recognized and it = proved to=20 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

The first partition = is intended=20 to run FreeBSD 4.5. I label it and it creates slices for /usr, /, /var = and /tmp.=20 The swap partition I added is the sixty partition of 564 MB. However, = FreeBSD=20 doesn't recognize this swap as part of the slice or something and then = nothing=20 can be installed. Why can't I use the sixty partition of 564 as a = swap for=20 the first partition of 15 GB ??? They are all in the same HDD but in = diferent=20 slices.

Ravi.
