I have 48M of RAM. Previously I was running LINUX, Caldera distribution on the second partition of my 6.4G hard drive. I uninstalled LINUX, since I only wanted the FreeBSD 4.2 OS as the second system on my machine. My first OS is MS Windows, version 98. The problem is that I can not get the installation program to activate the partition and to make the root and other directories that the installation program needs to install FreeBSD. Please tell me if this has to do with the previous LINUX partition or that maybe I am doing something wrong.
