The following reply was made to PR i386/84008; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Kotiaho, Mark" <mark.kotiaho@lmco.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, jay@codegurus.org Cc: Subject: Re: i386/84008: /dev/X? should be /dev/ad1s* Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 09:18:43 -0500 Jay, I think the problem is the BIOS limit of 4 primary partitions. You seem to be trying to create a 5th primary partition for FreeBSD. The BIOS won't support that -- you will have to either combine some of your NTFS partitions (i.e. use a "logical" partition instead of a primary partition), or get another drive. Sorry! I ran into the same problem yesterday! -- Markku P. Kotiaho Software Engineer, Staff Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control
