Hi, I'm installing FreeBSD, as a first time installation, on a PCI P-100 with 16mb ram, 850mb IDE hdd. The problem I'm having is that whenever I go to create a FreeBSD partition with the <C> command, to create a slice, I enter the amount required (250M), press enter and the partition dosen't appear so i can set it bootable. Likewise, it dosen't appear in the next step to create swap files etc in the newly created FreeBSD slice. Is this a harddrive problem? I've checked the <G> geometry option and the hd is as it is in the bios... any suggestions? thanks. Cameron Burley Bacherlor of Computing Monash University Caulfield Australiahome | help
