Recently I purchased FreeBSD 2.2.5 and now plan to install it. In my
present hardware configuration I have 2 hard disks: One, drive C, is
dedicated to WIN 95 OS and dos software only; the second, drive D,
will be used strictly for FreeBSD. My question, how do I go about
installing FreeBSD OS on a completely separate disk (i.e. one not
having to share it with another OS). The literature seems only to show
how to partition it with some other drive. Also fdisk (dos) tells me
that I can only set my C drive as the active partition. Is it
necessary to make the drive where I'll put FreeBSD an active drive? I

appreciate any info you have on this as I'm reluctant to install it and
screw things up. Thanks
