For some reason, when I try to create a partition for FreeBSD during the installation, the two unused sectors I have available are marked as having the sizes as 63 blocks and 4032 blocks(1 meg). I have 580 megs free. I tried to use FIPS, but it failed after saying "Last cylinder not free", even after a Win95 defrag. Is this occurring because I'm ont using a DOS defrag?
