Date: 27 Mar 1994 17:17:10 GMT Organization: [MindVox] / Phantom Access Technologies / (+1 800-MindVox) Lines: 13 Message-ID: <2n4f2m$msn@dockmaster.phantom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: mindvox.phantom.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I would like to install freebsd on a drive that contains 1mb of os/2 boot manager, 225mb of os/2 and 98mb of free space. Is the install program (freebsd 1.1 beta) likely to do damage to the rest of the disk? Can I use os/2 fdisk to set up some partitions, and then install freebsd to those partitions? The fdisk program which comes with linux, reports that my first free cylinder is #704. Freebsd install says that the first free cylinder is #703. Is one counting from 0, the other from 1? Will I have problems using os/2 bootmanager to boot *bsd? and, finally, I'd like to RTFM. The faqs and docs, other than the installguide, all seem out of date. what should i read and where do i find it?
