Hi I got a 17 GB Hard DISK and I want to install FreeBSD 4.0 in it.....I have tried to make the FreeBSD slice from SLACKWARE 7.0 floppies but I think I am missing something in between all this .....SO here goes the configuration of my machine Processor= Pentium 166 Mhz RAM = 128 MB (EDO) HDD = 17 GIG I got the HDD on FAT16 and am running windows 98 SE with it...I have almost all my Hardware supported except my SoundCARD and the SCSI I have with the machine..which is a TMC -1610M by Future Domain Corporation.... After I created the FreeBSD slice which has the HEX partition ID = a5 which I made through LINUX fdisk and I started installation of FreeBSD from boot floppies as in the kern and mfsroot floppies after the initial kernel configuration steps as in selecting the devices ....when I goto the partitioning section it says ad0s10 <- (this is the SLICE I created.......) the slice has no label.....and doesnt lemme see the SLICE.... One more thing I think this is due to the fact that I have all my HDDs space after the First 2 GIGs used up with the extended DOS partion......can this be the ONE I would be really thankful if ne of the gurus can help me OUT.......THANKX in advance.... ba bye To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
