Hello,
I am trying to instal two copies of FreeBSD 3.0 onto the same disk - one
will get upgraded to -stable, the other to -current.
Using install floppies from the FreeBSD 3.0 CD.
Disk (Quantum 6GB SCSI C/H/S = 783/255/63 on BusLogic BT-948) is sliced
da0s1 47MB id=6 DOS
da0s2 1024M id=160
da0s3 1024M id=165 FreeBSD
I have installed 3.0 into da0s3 and it seems OK.
When I try to install into da0s2 I change the slice id (in the FreeBSD
slice editor the installation floppy starts) to 165. When I get to
the FreeBSD Disklabel Editor and try to create a 64MB root filesystem
it says
"This region cannot be used for your root partition as the FreeBSD boot
code cannot deal with a root partition created in that location."
What is the problem ?
I have tried setting the id of slice da0s3 to 160 so the installation
does not see the existing copy of FreeBSD but this does not help.
Thanks,
Ian.
