I've just installed from walnut CD-ROM using "novice install" I have 250Mb on this partition (first partition is on Win95). (I've enabled LBA under BIOS because in user mode I get at boot time : Error C:1056 > 1023 (Bios Limit) I had installed FreeBSD on other computers and I never had such problem. So what could it be ?
