I have a 1 gig drive. I want to do the following
Partition
1 win95, 500 MB
2 / for Freebsd
3 /swap for Freebsd
4 extended /usr for Freebsd
extended /etc for Freebsd
I just cant seem to get a hold of the fips program on the FreeBSD boot
disk (2.1.7). I can create slices and such, but the last time, I managed
to wipe my
win95 partition, and create 3 freebsd primaries (no extended).
So...should I just use DOS fdisk first, then try to create slices with
FreeBSD?
Help!
:) John
