Hello Hello I have encountered a problem when I install our FreeBSD 4.0 box with our already installed Windows98 partition. Windows98 is already installed and is listed as the first partition when the FreeBSD partition table comes up. The drive is a 20GB Western Digital. About 9GB is dedicated to Windows98 and the rest I would like to get FreeBSD installed on. I can get the partition tables setup right letting Windows98 be first then I start installing the packages then I go back (after packages completes) and it gives me the following error: "Root Filesystem extends past 1024 and cannot be booted from" is this a problem with the Windows98 partition being first or did I actually make the "root" partition (it was about 1.5gigs) and the "root" partition is the partition that is labled as "/" correct? If I don't make the partitions large enough then I try and install other programs or larger programs it says there isn't enough space. MOST of the partitions are greater then 1gig (besides the swap. Do I need to install FreeBSD first then Win98 to fix this problem. I even tried putting FreeBSD first and it gives me the same message! Thanks for your assistance.
