I  want to install FBSD off of a large (>1GB)  drive i..e a DOS
partition, it has trouble reading the DOS partiion and thus I cannot
install.
Is there a way to get around this problem, is there any support under
2.2. release , 3.0 snap and current to address this situation.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanx
