--Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I just upgraded my Portege to a 4G disk. I have it split in half, the first 2G to WinDoze and second to 2G to FreeBSD. I'm trying to install the Aug 4 3.0 snapshot and FDISK, during the install, reports 993 cyl, 128 track, 63 head, for the disk, so it's all <1024, but the labeler won't let me put a root filesystem in it. The disk itself does say 7944/16/63, but even so I understand there's a utility that allows booting to dos then loading freebsd from there. It's hard to do if the installer won't install though. The FAQ and Handbook don't say very much about this... Suggestions? I *really* don't want to put a dinky partition at the beginning, aside from not liking dinky partitions, I don't want to have to reinstall WinDoze yet again (and until FreeBSD can run all WinDoze apps, it's got to be there). -- Alan Batie ______ www.rdrop.com/users/batie Me batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / www.qrd.org The Triangle PGPFP DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A \ / www.pgpi.com The Weird Numbers 27 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 \/ www.anti-spam.net NO SPAM! --Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNc1nG4v4wNua7QglAQEJogP/YvxaXoUmDb7xD8KZB/cmBuGaPeFXRMMG NNTMzYivzScku18WyWee5e0IO1dyNps6bt/IstSO9rpmzafG3gwcDKoe2GuZ9+6s s05XrQ6qcLm+HWDmeiOgaFA5tLbLiah70VSWRc9fv3jM66vRIW5PT4IE9WJQspU6 /Y8UrecVG/g= =tFyQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
