Hi,
I have a problem installing freebsd. I have a machine with an
old BIOS and 2 disks in it. First disk is 1.6 GB with linux.
On the second disk I want to install FreeBSD and OpenBSD
for learning and testing. This disk has about 10 GB and 19650
cylinders. I installed FreeBSD on this disk and tried to boot
it by LILO from first disk, but get only "-".
So I thought FreeBSD boot partition has to be in the first 1024
cylinders.
After reading many documentations I wanted to do:
- create boot-slice ad2s1 ( about 180 MB ) which contains only /
- create a slice ( may be 4GB )in extended partition for all
other swap, /tmp, /var and /usr
The problem I have, I cannot tell FreeBSD during the installation
process to use the slice in the extended partition.
I hope someone could help.
