i am have problems installing 2.2.2 on a 3.8G drive.  i would
appreciate any tips from someone that has done so.
-
wd0 W95 (0-62=MBR) (63-504M=W95) (plus a few sectors leftover)
wd1 CD - drive 2 is a CDROM
wd2 BSD (i allocate ALL the space for FreeBSD - all 3,8G).
-
i use the install defaults (/=32M, swap=~40M, /var=30M, /usr=3500M).
the root is well below the 500M limit for an IDE.
-
from Alt-F4 during the install, i see everything is fine.
also Alt-F2 show no problems during the install, other
than 2 consecutive complaints about illegal characters
after builing the superblocks (illegal character 0x34).
-
i Set the W95 and BSD partitions as bootable, and
select and MBR for each. after rebooting, i can't boot F5 (wd2).
