Unfortunately, no. See below. > In brief,can I install FreeBSD in one logic partitions > of the extend partitions,not the entire extend partitions? "Extended" partitions are software simulations of partitions sharing the same physical partition on disk. Operating systems need primary partitions to work from. Since both your D: and E: drive share the same physical partition, it is not possible to remove only one of both -- the physical partition housing both extended partitions will still be needed to hold one of them. Read the FreeBSD Install guide (hhttp://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-guide.html)., It provides some hints how to install it in your case. > And another question, I am installing from the CD-ROM. > Yestoday I boot from CD-ROM with a FreeBSD 3.2 CD-ROM > sucessfully, after config the hardware paramater, > I came to install options,I chose install from cd-rom, > but the system said "No cd-rom can be found!" > My cd-rom is not a famous brand, > it is a 24X MAX ATAPI CD-ROM. > what shall I do? Depending on which FreeBSD version you are trying to install, FreeBSD may not check for a slave CD-ROM drive on a IDE port without a master drive. Check Your CD-ROM is connected to the same cable than the hard disk, the hard disk should be jumpered as master, the CD-ROM drive should be jumpered as slave.
