Hi!

Using partition magic, I partitioned my 1 gig hard drive 600 megs for MSDOS
and 400 megs for FreeBSD.  Presently the 400 megs is "free space", it does
not have any sort of partition format.  In reading "Installing and Running
FreeBSD", I couldn't quite figure out whether I'm best off just running FIPS
or using Partition Magic to set those 400 megs to some sort of file system..
(Not sure which one!)  Help!

Thanks.
