References: <32DA182C.FB717546@student.dei.uc.pt> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, It is not possible to install FreeBSD in an extended partition (the partition must be bootable and an extended partition is not bootable) You may cut your extended partition to get a new "normal" partition (that is : leave 700 Megs in the existing extened part and get 700 Megs in a new partition nr 2) I don't know if FIPS (the repartitioning tool which comes with FreeBSD) can do this, but if it does not, look at the "partition magic" set of tool.
