Hello Doug, thank you for responding. I went into DOS's fdisk and got
rid of drive E completely. Then I ran the FreeBSD installation again,
and when i get to that FDISK screen there, it says:
-----------
Disk name: wd2
Disk Geometry: 512 cyls/12 heads/32 sectors = 196608 sectors
Offset Size End Name Ptype Desc Subtype Flags
0 32 31 - 6 unused 0
32 196192 196223 wd2s1 2 fat 6
196224 384 196607 - 6 unused 0
------------
What do I do here exactly? What is the free space?
You said to hit 'C', but with which one chosen?
Please help if you can. Thank you.
Jason
