Terribly sorry for what must be FAQ material, but I've looked through a
dozen install guides, FAQs, handbooks, tutorials, and still haven't found
a clear answer to these questions.
1. Can I install FreeBSD to an extended logical partition, or does it have
to be installed on a primary partition?
My drive 0 configuration:
1 primary partition: 128 MB, DOS 6.22
1 extended partiton: 1.6 GB
1 logical partition: 1.6 GB (entire extended partiton),
formatted from DOS but contains no files
If it has to be installed on a primary partition, how can I change the
extended partition to a primary? DOS's fdisk won't let a drive have more
than one primary.
2. If the partition has been high-level formatted, do I need to delete and
recreate the partition?
