hi,

I have a 15gig drive with two partitions. one is 10GB the other is 5GB. On the 10GB
I have winME, I want to install freebsd on the 5GB. Well the problem is that when I 
try to install FreeBSD and I am in Fdisk it only see's 2GB. I have no clue why it does.
It does'nt see the other partitions, even MS DOS see's the other partitons even if they
are not FAT. Can anyone be of service? I would greatly appreciate it.

This is what is showing up:
Disk Geometry: 256cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 4112640 sectors (2008MB)

Offset    Size(MB)    End    Name    PType    Desc       Subtype    Flags
     0        0                62        -            6        unused    0
     63      2014        4124735  ad0s1    2            FAT    12

I have no clue why it's giving me this when i have a 15gig with 2 partitions, on 10GB and the
other 5GB


Thank you.
