Hi: I just started with FreeBSD. I tried Linux ver 1.1.59 and had difficulty matching sources of data and who set this program up etc...toooo many sources. Any way, I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 on a 540Meg Connor drive. Only 516Meg is now accessible due to old Bios. 1. I obtained boot144.flp dated 941204 and made image on 144 floopy. 2. I selected fdisk to start install. 3. Fdisk indicates I have 516M drive 1056384 sectors. I have 150Meg partion (413280-720719 sect) for OS/2 Warp, 200 Meg for MS Dos 6.0 (3024-413279), and 1Meg OS/2 boot Manager (63-3023 sect). the 4th partion is unused. I believe this should be 163Meg. When I try to edit the 4th partion (slice) I get a final indication of 0 (zero) meg for FreeBSD (0xa5 slice). Why?????? I am following the install instructions written by Jordan Hubbard. Thanks for any help you may give....Alan McFaul Dale City VA (near Wash D.C.) P.S. I have partioned the 4th partion in the past for Linux but have since deleted it with the OS/2 fdisk. //---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // The job is not finished until the paper work is completed from Washington D.C. the paper capital of the World!!!
