I am trying to install 2.2.8 Stable on a PC using CD-ROM. The PC already has Windows NT and Linux installed. The partition was done by partitionMagic 3.02.253. The boot manager is SYSTEM COMMANDER. There are nine partitions in all. The ninth is free (1.4GB). However, when I come up with the partition menu, FreeBSD only shows three partitions. The first is marked as "unused", actually it is the primary DOS partition (63 blocks). It can not find the ninth partition which is free. Is PartitionMagic (by PowerQuest) compatible with FreeBSD? Can I use SYSTEM COMMANDER (I guess it is the boot manager) with FreeBSD (choose leave boot record intact)? Why FreeBSD can not find the free partition? Please help me out. Thanks a lot. -------------------------------------------------- | Zhihui Zhang, http://cs.binghamton.edu/~zzhang | | Dept. of Computer Science, SUNY at Binghamton | -------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
