Hello,
First, I apologize for using DOS terms such as primary partiton and "c:." I
am a windows user. And, thank you in advance.
My plan is to install FreeBSD form s DOS psrtition on an IDE bus. Most of
the FreeBSD 3.2 Stable distribution was downloaded from cdrom.com to a
nono-primary DOS partiton. In the primary partition(c:), there is only
~90MB free space available. Must all the distribution files go to the
primary partiton? Or, the files under "/bin" only need to go there?
If files under /bin directory only need to go to the primary partiton,
that'll be nice because the size of these files amounts to approx. 24MB. Do
I need to reformat the HDD so that all FreeBSD distribution files fit within
the primary partition?
Also, the first partition (2.5GB) in the extended partition has been NTFS
formatted. The next two partitions (2GB and 1.5GB) are both FAT16. I plan to
install FreeBSD on the 1.5GB partiton.
IDE 0/Master --> ibm 6.4GB ATA/33 HDD
Primary partition/100MB/FAT16
Extended partition/2500MB/NTFS
Extended partition/2000MB/FAT16
Extended partition/1500MB/FAT16 <-- FreeBSD is
to be installed here.
Tetsuya
