I have been wanting to install FreeBSD 4.1 on my computer but am a little confused with the fdisk portion of the install. Currently I have 2 windows partitions, C and D. When installing linux, they are labeled as /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda5. When installing FBSD, I don't see my D partition listed, nor my current linux partitions. I would eventually like to have a triple boot system with windows still on C and D, Free BSD and Linux (debian). A) Is this possible? B) Why does it look like FreeBSD's fdisk doesn't recognize the linux partitions? C) If I'm willing to lose my current linux install, what is the best course of action to take? (I'm also a bit concerned with losing that D partition in windows as I mentioned above.) Any help you can offer would be EXTREMELY appreciated. Thanks alot!
