Hello,

I tried to install FreeBSD, but the setup program does not recognize my
partitions correctly.
I have 4 partitions:

400 MB FAT (Win 95)
1000 MB NTFS (NT 4.0)
700 MB FAT (for FreeBSD)
2000 MB FAT (Data)

FreeBSD setup recognizes the first FAT partition and only one extended
partition with 3700 MB. The BIOS does not support a mapping for large
harddisks, but this should be no problem with FreeBSD (NT and Linux
recognize these partitions, Win95 doesn't).
