Hmm, I've seen IDE HDD's with fat32 and fat16 on seperate partitions.. Also, you do not need dos to install FreeBSD.. you can either boot from the CD (if your BIOS supports it) or download/copy the boot.flp image and rawrite it (using win95/dos) for a freebsd boot disk.. -rob ( www.namodn.com ) ( mailto:robert@namodn.com ) On Fri, 11 Dec 1998, Marc Andre Paquin wrote: > Hello, > > I have a HB with 3 partitions. 2 for win95 in fat32 and the last one is intended for > FreeBSD in a near future.
