I have a CompuAdd 486DX66 with 16 MB of RAM and an Adaptec 154X controller. Off of the SCSI controller I have my C: drive, a QIC 80 tape drive, a CD-ROM, and a SyQuest 270MB removable disk drive. I want to install FreeBSD on the SyQuest drive. I have my binary distribution on the SyQuest drive. It takes up about 53 MB. When I boot from the installation floppy, both of my hard drives are recognized; however, Fdisk sees my SyQuest drive as having 256MB total with all 256MB assigned to DOS. In DOS I show about 214MB free. I realize there is some overhead, but why don't I show any free disk space? Is there something special I need to do for a SyQuest drive? I haven't yet subscribed to this mailing list; so please reply to me directly. Thanks for any help.
