Rapoport" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On a pretty large drive. I did something on the order of 12-16 OS installations on my PC yesterday, because I didn't read the FAQ. Sigh. But here's the situation: I want to use 95, NT, and FreeBSD, and I want to use System Commander 4.0 Deluxe to do so. I'm using a 4Gb drive (Unisys/Seagate ST15150W, in case it matters). Yesterday I tried the following: Three partitions: Partition 1, 1357Mb, Windows 95 Partition 2, 1357Mb, Windows NT So far everything was OK. Then I installed FreeBSD into Partition 3, 1381Mb And my Win95 OS went away. Looks like this is because FreeBSD requires its root partition to begin in the first 1024 cylinders of the drive ("2.15. What about disk managers? Or, I have a large drive!"). So I have these OSs and these requirements: FreeBSD First 1024 Cylinders NT First 2048 Mb 95 First Primary Dos partition Which kind of leaves me in a bind. Any ideas? has someone done this before? -roy Roy S.
