Since win98 is FAT32, Does FreeBSD recognize FAT32 > partition??? It does, and you can copy files off of it, but you cannot install FreeBSD on it. FreeBSD requires it's own slice type. But if you have a new disk, simply delete any existing DOS partition the vendor may have put on there, install FreeBSD, and have fun.
