I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.0 from CD onto a 30GB maxtor (7200RPM) =
hard drive. The hard drive is partitioned into 28GB and 2GB.. the 28GB =
are used by Win98 (FAT32) and the 2GB partition is free.. I'm trying to =
install FreeBSD onto the 2GB partition, but the install proggie only =
recognizes the first 2GB which is part of the win98 partition.. is there =
a kernel feature i have add before it recognizes the large hard drive? =
or is there something else I need to do before I can install BSD onto =
the end of the drive like this? Any help would be appreciated.. thanks

Roop
