Hiya,
I'm trying to install 2.0.5 Release to my second hard disk. I'm dedicating
all 420 Megs to it. My first drive is a 540 Meg, dedicated to DOS & Windows.
How do I tell the install program to look on my first drive for the DOS
partition and the C:\FREEBSD directory? And, how will I mount my DOS drive
later? Please don't tell me I'll need to copy everything to floppies...
I really like the new install program over the one in 1.x, but I was a
bit confused when looking at the Label section. The 1.x series walked you
thru making the partitions you'd need (root, swap space, and /usr). 2.0.5
seems to expect you to know what you need and 'newbies' will probably be
completely lost there. Perhaps there could be an 'example' document that
illustrates the 'typical' configurations? I could even be persuaded to
write it. Just my $0.02.
-----Kris
