The FAQ (see Installation) tells you to keep all bootable partitions below the 1023rd cylinder (assuming the first cylinder is numbered 0). If possible, you should install a small NTFS partition and a small FreeBSD slice (only ``/'') below the 1023rd cylinder and use the remaining space as you see fit for both NTFS and FreeBSD. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | trond@gtf.ol.no Merkantilvegen 59HB7, | trond@ramstind.gtf.ol.no N-2815 GJØVIK, NORWAY |+47 61139424 || +47 63874242 Patron of The Art of Computer Programming| FreeBSD 3.4 & Pine 4.21 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
