I have an ACER 75MHz Pentium, 8 Meg RAM,1.2Gig HD, PCI video, & PCI HD controller. My question is this. When I try to load FreeBSD I get warning messages about my HD, and when I get to the DISKLABEL part I only have 2 Meg available for my root. I know this is not the case because I gave FreeBSD 400 Meg (leaving 800 Meg for DOS) during the FDISK. If I disable extended addressing in my CMOS setup, I still get the FreeBSD warning message during bootup/install but I can now set my root size during DISKLABLE to 20 Meg. But now it looks like DOS doesn't understand anything greater than 500Meg. What am I doing wrong? Please help. NOTE: My return mail address is al@hpanalog.mdc.com Thank You, Alan Gillis
