I am doing a FreeBSD 2.1 install on a 486/66 (8Mb RAM) pc with the following hard drives: 1. Western Digital 420 Megabytes, has 1 DOS partition and about 130 Mb free space 2. Western Digitall 1.6 gig hard drive, has 1 Dos partition and about 98% free I am using the inst_ide.bat file to do a novice install from a CDROM. During the initial boot up it lists a wd0 and wd1 corresponding to the two drives. However when I get to the "FreeBSD Disk LAbel Editor" screen only one disk is listed as follows: wd0s1 none 405 DOS The second disk is not listed and the only command that this Disk Label editor responds to is Q. All other commands give a beep and a message. Something appears to be wrong with this disk editor, I think. I does not list the 1.6 gig drive. I want to use about 500 Mb of the 1.6 gig drive to install a developers installation without X windows. Please help!
