[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I check for information on the installation from a DOS partition in the FAQ and the mail archive(couldn't access). I ftp'd BSD down onto my second harddrive (D:) and intend to install on (E:) a 1.9 gig partition. I get the setup program to recognize the freeBSD partition and it asks me from where to install. That seems to work ok....however it starts asking for the root directory "/" and "/var" and so on...I understand on UNIX where this are...but is there some creation step that I am missing that I must do first to the partition. I am a novice when it comes to installation...so help would be appreciated..... Thanks in advance.
