Message-ID: <1992Oct13.215949.20859@odin.diku.dk> Date: 13 Oct 92 21:59:49 GMT References: <1992Oct13.094247.837@altair.selu.edu> Sender: storner@ask.diku.dk Organization: Department of Computer Science, U of Copenhagen Lines: 24 One method that has worked for me is as follows: a) Use DOS FDISK to create two partitions: A primary DOS partition (this partition will be used for DOS) and a secondary partition (this will be used for BSD). b) Using a disk editor - e.g. Norton utilities - change the Master Boot record at cylinder 0, side 0, sector 1. You must change the byte that indicates "Extended DOS partition" from 05 hex to A5 hex. This byte is at offset 450, 466, 482 or 498 - most likely, it is at offset 466. c) Boot the "Tiny BSD" diskette and run install. Install should detect the partition type A5 as a BSD partition, and install itself in this partition. It worked for me, and I have heard from others that it worked for them also.
