I threw in a spare 160MB : hard drive to install FreeBSD on. But after the install, I can't get : the F? from the boot manager. What exactly am I to do during the hmm.. what boot manager are you using? I suppose the WinNT one. You're probably going to need to update the boot manager so it knows that there is something to boot on the other HD. : install to get it to install corectly? Or, do I need a third party : software? Plus, one other small question. I am newer than a newbie at : UNIX. How exactly should I partion the 160? As of now, I have 20M for : /, 32M for swap, 50M for /usr, and 60M for /dev. Is this correct? hm.. Well, you don't really need 60M for /dev. In fact, you probably don't need a separate partition for it. (my /dev is 18k) It would work fine as a subdir in /. 32M sounds ok for swap, kinda depends on how much memory you have. Since it's a small drive you might want to just split it into a swap partition and a / partition. One thing you might want to try it to get freebsd installed and then set that HD as the master just to make sure it boots fine on it's own. eric haszlaki@uiuc.edu
