I'm not sure on how to do this type of I did this the other day. The trick is to get 2 primary dos partitions happening. (something microsofts fdisk wont do) I created 1 primary dos partition encompassing the whole disk, then cut it in half using fips. Next I installed the alternate bootmanager osbs135.exe. (avalible from /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE/tools/dist) Then it was just a matter of formatting the partitions using the Win95 format and the DOS 6 format commands. cheers
