I know this has to be a FAQ but I just can't seem to find the right information to get me out of this problem... I have a 486DX33 with a 1.2GB Seagate drive which uses software to translate the geometry so that DOS etc can use it. I have Win95, NT workstation 3.51 installed and I would like to install FreeBSD on the remaining 500MB. The problem is that if I hold down CTRL during boot to boot from a floppy as instructed, the BSD boot disk doesn't want to boot. If I boot with the floppy in the drive to start with, the FreeBSD installer can't see the other two partitions (500MB FAT, 200MB NTFS), and wants the whole disk. I searched the mail archives and found a reference to a program called pfdisk (which I tried), but after setting the geometry in the installation I still don't see the other partitions. can anyone help with this ? (I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0.5). thanks, Carey ========================================================================= Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au Networks and Communications ! phone : (002) 20 7419 Information Technology Services ! fax : (002) 20 7898 University of Tasmania. ! =========================================================================
