I try to install FreBSD 6.2 as third OS on my laptop (after Windows XP and Gentoo Linux). I only have a logical partition left for it. sysinstall only shows four slices on my hard drive, ad4s1 - ad4s4. ad4s4 is correctly recognized as a DOS extended partition, but the logical partitions inside it are not displayed - so I can't select the slice I have set aside for FreeBSD. Is this possible? I don't find that limitation in the handbook, and it seems utterly anachronistic to me. What can I do to get around this? Thanks, Helge
