Hey folks, I want to use fips to repartition a win95 hard drive so's I can have a FreeBSD partition. In the past, I've always used fips from an msdos floppy disk to do this. In my current circumstances (on travel and away from my box o' goodies) I don't have my msdos floppies. So, I try booting up the PC into MSDOS mode and run fips. Now, I tried this once on my laptop and it didn't work -- hung the machine. I tried it on this PC here and I had it complain about ... oh, I can't remember now, it didn't like the partition type I think. I don't have the exact error message, I'll get that later... Bottom line is, have people done this from win95 or am I just screwed? Thanks, Brian
