I have been trying to install FreeBSD on by system for 3 days, but to no avail.
After talking to tech support at Walnut Creek they seem to think that it has
something to do with the fact that I am using Ontrack Disk Manager on my system.
If I may, I'd like to describe my system so that you can, perhaps, recommend the
best way to proceed with the installation.

486/66
CD-ROM Teac cd55A (not supported)
C: 850 MByte WD running Ontrack Disk Manager and Windows 95 (yuk).
D: 1.2 GByte Maxtor on which FreeBSD will be installed.
3.5" floppy

1) Do I use the Ontrack Disk Manager on D: ?
2) How should I partition D: ((DOS and FreeBSD) or only FreeBSD)?
3) What about the disk geometry?
4) What should I use for the Boot Manager?

I would appreciate any help you could give.

Thank You,
Mark Maguire
