I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.1. I have created by means other than the installation program, a partitioning of my disk (160 Gig), and I want to install on one of those partitions. I have three primary partitions and one extended where I have installed Linux in one logical partition. I want FreeBSD to go in another logical partition. When I installed 4.7 in another computer, I had no problems whatsoever. But with 5.1 the partitioning utility only sees the primary partitions, the first three and the extended one as a whole. It sees the extended partition as one partition without the logical ones created there. Apparently I must have the partition for FreeBSD as FAT, but other tools do not help me because the partition is too large to be FAT. Any help to solve this will be appreciated. Teilhard.
