I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my Windows 95 computer. I have 2 202MB
hard drive, but one is not enough to hold everything. I created a FreeBSD
partition using the fips.exe program in the /tools directory and the
install program, but it is too small. The documentation says I can delete
it, but how? Win95 seems to think it is a 3rd hard drive and comes up
with the message "This device is not connected properly". What do I do?

All replies would be greatly appreciated, send to gordon@albury.net.au.
Thanks, Stephen Gordon
