I have installed four O.S.es on my laptop and know that could be a limitation if FreeBSD can not be put into a DOS extended partition. I do not see any limitations in the boot loader or kernel that prevent this. Thanks for any enlightment. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
