Subject:   FreeBSD's partition layout incompatible with Win98?
Message-ID:  <199810100745.JAA15232@gilberto.physik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>

I'm running a machine which has Win95, WinNT 4.0 and FreeBSD (2.2.6)
installed on one disk. Nothing peculiar theses days.

Now I wanted to upgrade WIn95 to Win98 and the Win98 installation
failed right at the beginning when the setup examined the computer.

It said, it cannot cope with a 64KB FAT partition. Hmm, is it that
small slice that FreeBSD always creates when it asks the user
to create a partition layout being compatible with future operating
systems?
