I am using the updated boot floppy image for FreeBSD-2.1.0-RELEASE,
and I can't seem to be able to install on a SCSI drive without
first using DOS to create a partition (FDISK) table.  Am I missing
the boat, or what?

I checked the handbook and the on-line installation instructions, but
have been known to miss the (painfully) obvious.

(current) System: 150Mhz P5, 32M EDO RAM, Adaptec 3940W, Segate Barracuda
4Gb drive, SMC 10/100 PCI ethernet.

Please respond directly, or at least cc me directly, as I am no longer
subscribed to this list.  Thanks!
