Some say "yes" other say "no". So, as final statement : As of 2.1R, does FreeBSD support extended partitions. That is, can it access already existsing DOS extended partition, and can it be installed itself on a extended partition (to have more than four partition on a single HD) ?! TIA, Lars ps. I didn't find anything on that in the FAQ or the BSD Handbook...
