I installed successfully FreeBSD on a portable computer AST Ascentia A70
with
the following characteristics :
- 32 Mo RAM
- 2.1 Go Hard Disk.

I bought this computer with a primary partition FAT32 with Windows'95,
an
extended partition DOS and a third one I don't know.
The sizes were as following:
1 - Win'95		976 Mo
2 - Extended DOS	1 Go
3 - Unknown's one	80 Mo

While installing BSD, I deleted the partition 2 (Extended DOS) and
installed
FreeBSD there.
I got the following partition id:
1- Unknown	11
2- freebsd	165
3- Unknown	160
Then I install inadvertently Easy Boot Manager.

When the installation was completed, I rebooted and got the following
choice:
F1 ??
F2 BSD
F3 ??
I was afraid about Windows'95 and typed F1 and it worked normaly.
F2 worked also.

Could you tell me why Windows/DOS isn't written for F1 ?
Can I delete the partition 3 ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

J-P. Beconne
