Currently I only have one 20Gb (not SCSI L) = hd and only one partition (Pri DOS @ FAT32). I'd like to install = FreeBSD onto another hd (I have an Adaptec 2940U I'd like to use . . .), = but what I have been reading says I can not boot FreeBSD from partitions = beyond cylinder 1023 (<8Gb). Ok, then I need to partition my existing = hd, say into two partitions (only using <5Gb for WinME after cleanup and = defrag). FIPS does not seem to want to partition my WinME partition (or = can I just create a DOS logical ext partition??) and Partition Magic = seems risky (according to some USENET messages lately). Any ideas? If = so, the right steps to accomplish this would be helpful (I'd rather not = reinstall WinME again! if I can help it). Thanks in advance.
