Hoi Hackers,
I just installed FreeBSD as a secondary OS on a machine. I dumped it into the
upper 300 Mb of a 810 Mb disk. Funny thing is that neither the installation
procedure, nor booteasy issued a warning that it would not be possible to
actually boot from the partition, as it is beyond the reach of the BIOS.
I'm not complaining, it just seems to me that it would be very easy to
issue a warning message in this case. It would have saved me the 30 minutes
it takes to install FreeBSD ;)
Groetjes,
Kees Jan
