I have a system set up with 4 partitions, like this, though I only boot the second and third (I use BootMagic; I created a FAT32 partition because BootMagic needed it). I'm not sure if the new OS is capable of booting that far into the disk, or not. Most must have their initial code loaded below 8G. You can usually do this by doing several parititions, and then seperating boot and data for the OS so all the boots are below the critical limit. See my posting last month on how to deal with it (the post had a subject prefix of "Re: FreeBSD Installer", and was sent 24 Jan 2002 to -chat). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
