Ok, here I am again, but this time I'm replying to myself. Well I figured
out why I got that disk full error: filesyst.flp I guess somehow it got
filled up... I re-rawrote it and now I have the kernel installed on the
second partition on my hard drive (right after my DOS one). But I can't
boot off of the FreeBSD partition for some really strange reason. My
computer just says, "Missing operating system"
The FreeBSD partition _is_ over 1000 cylinders. I would change that but
then is it possible to add the rest of my hard drive later? Oh well, it
seems I have no choice now. I'll do that and hope someone will show me
how to add another partition to FreeBSD.
Thanks,
Sherman
