Hi,

I'm trying install the FreeBSD to my new Pentium PC with 2.1MB EIDE
hard disk.  The computer is preinstalled Win95 and I like to let
BSD and Win95 exists at the same time.

I created four partitions
on my hardisk, with are labled OS-95, OS-BSD, Program, and Utility.
And now, I have the problem, when I stat the computer with boot disk
(BSD), at installation section, it couldn't detect those partitions,
and it showed entire hard disk is unused. How can I solve this problem,
Win95 is working perfectly now, so I don't want to reinstall them at all.
Please help.

Thanks a lot.

Ye Wang
