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. lutz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
