The fact is, **that**=20 fdisk only allows you to create **one** primary partition (and a=20 logical partition, if you like). No comment. The following may be of help:=20 http://www.freebsd.org/~rpratt/41/index.html; the multi-os tutorial, found at=20 http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multi-os/index.html; freebsd on-line=20 manpages (eg fdisk) at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi=20 N.B. "ad" has replaced "wd" -- the latter is the HDs naming scheme=20 under FreeBSD 3.X.
