Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to install FreeBSD with WIN95 on an IBM thinkpad 760EL I can install FreeBSD on its own but when I try to share the hard disk with dos (50:50 partition) the boot manager displays symptoms as described in the manual e.g F?. The hard disk is 810MB and formats to 774MB (Or close to this value). I don't know the disk geometry. FreeBSD boot up floppy says it is: 1575 cyl:16 heads :63 = 1587600 When I installed FreeBSD on the whole drive and entered the FreeBSD Fdisk it said the geometry was 120:210:63 = 1587600 I'm not that clever on all this stuff, can you help ?
