AFAIK, the FreeBSD installer works only with a "normal" FAT16
partition (with a 5 Gb FAT32, No luck)
You'll need to create another partition (FAT16) to install FreeBSD
from. You'l be able to use this partition also for exchanges between
Lose95 and FreeBSD.
Hope that helps

Hi,
I have a 5Gb hard disk which is a single FAT32 partition with
Win95 on it. I have downloaded the 2.2.6-Release files to it as per
your 'Preparing for Installation' details. I also have a smaller
(300Mb) hard disk on the secondary controller which I want to use for
the installation. I boot from the floppy and get through most of the
installation, including specifying which drive I want to use and
creating the partitions. I then went to the options screen to
specify the installation method. I selected MS-DOS partition and it
told me that there were none to install from! When I run FDisk from
DOS, however, it tells me that it is a primary DOS partition.
I would be greatful if you could help.
Many Thanks, Chris Roberts
