I need help!!
I need help installing FreeBSD 5.3 as the second OS on my workstation. I have a 501 Mhz Pentium processor with Windows XP Professional and a 28Ghz hard drive that's divided into four equal sized primary partitions. I also have boot manager Boot-US 2.0.6 installed. How do I Install FreeBSD 5.3 into another of the primary partitions ? I have the I386 boot only disk and I386 - disks 1 and 2. I also have four primary partitions defined and two of them are available to receive the FreeBSD code. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
"max one 'fat' allowed as child of whole"
I found the following as the result of a search for the string "max one
'fat' allowed" at the following URL:

I don't understand what this means; does it imply that you can't have a
multiple operating system with a non-FreeBSD OS ? I have Windows XP
Professional in primary partition 1 of 4 primary partitions on my hard drive.
Partitions 2 and 4 are available to accept FreeBSD but won't because of that
"max one 'fat' allowed as child of whole" message. Is there a circumvention to
this problem ?

Post-installation configuration problems with FreeBSD 4.4
I've installed FreeBSD 4.4 from the CD-ROM included in my FreeBSD Unleashed book (I installed 4.4 instead of 5.0 because it's supposedly more stable; 5.0 is a pre-release snapshot.). When I try to do the X Server configuration stuff, the server won't start and, consequently, X-Windows won't start. My video card is CinePak Codec by Radius, Inc. and my monitor is a 15" ASTVision 4i (Intel (r) 82810 graphics controller with 4MB memory, screen refresh rate of 60 hertz, resolution is 800x600, and 24 bit color quality. For the card option, CinePak doesn't show up in the list of potentials. Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong in my attempt to configure X server ? By the way, I have FreeBSD installed in a primary partition on a system on which I also run Windows XP Professional with Boot US boot manager. I'd appreciate any information that you can provide. Thank you. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Windows XP and FreeBSD 4.4 on the same hard drive
I am currently running Windows XP Professional on a HP Pavilion with a 27.95GB hard drive which I've partitioned with FDISK. Windows is in the primary DOS partition (about 7GB) on disk drive C and the extended DOS partition had three logical drives (D, E, and F) defined in it; they are 7.3GB, 7.3GB, and 6.3GB respectively. I want to create my FreeBSD environment in the first logical drive (D). I know the starting and ending sector numbers so that I won't overwrite any data already on the drive. Does this sound reasonable ? And will I be able to install FreeBSD's boot manager to give me a choice of which OS I want to come up ? I'd really like to do this right the first time. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Installing FreeBSD 4.9 on a Windows/XP Professional system.
Good afternoon. I have a Compaq SR1810NX with a 100GB hard drive split into four equal partitions of 23GB. Two are initialized (one with Windows/XP (C) and the other with a quick format (G)); the file systems are NTFS. The other two partitions (D and E) are uninitialized. I have FreeBSD 4.9 on three CD'S that I'd like to install into one of the uninitialized partitions. Can you tell me what I need to do for preinstallation and what do I need to know to direct my installation to one of the uninitialized partitions? I'm going to give the entire 23GB to FreeBSD. Thank you in advance for your assistance. I'm very anxious to learn UNIX system administration and all of the related tasks (shell programming, security administration, etc.).

FreeBSD Installation CD Creation
I'm having a tough time creating the two 6.1-release installation CD's. I was told that it was best to go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/ and download the 6.1 RELEASE disc1 and disc2 ISO images in Windows, and use your favorite toaster to rip CDs. (My CD 'toaster' is Nero OEM 6.6.0.13.) Then boot from disc1 to install. When I attempt to do this, it's like the CD is either empty or unreadable. I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried this 4 times now and it's a bit frustrating. I have the .ISO files in my recycle bin. Is there a way for me to convert them to CD images from which I can boot my Windows XP system and install FreeBSD in my available 20 GB primary partition?
