The hard disk is an EIDE set up us master and connected to local bus. It is partitioned as follows using FDISK that came with OS/2 Warp. primary partition --------------Boot Manager------------Startable primary partition ----drive c---pc-dos/win 3.1---FAT----bootable Extended partitions---drive d---data files-------FAT---- ---drive e---min OS/2---------HPFS---bootable ---drive f---OS/2 Warp etc----HPFS---bootable. My questions are: 1. Is it possible to install(Novice) FreeBSD on drive 'e' after deleting min OS/2? This partition is 48MBytes in size. 2. If the answer to question 1 is no what should be changed? I am willing to re-partition the hard drive and re-install the other systems if there is procedure that is known to work. 3. Is there a write-up that deals with the situation I have? Any help will be appriciated. Thanks Chetty
