Re: chunk 'ad1s4 ; ad1s2 ,ad1s3 does not start on a track boundary : install issue
That would be your recovery partition from Acer, I would presume. On Aug 25, 2010, at 12:04 PM, Mubeesh ali wrote: > Hi , > > I am trying to install freebsd on a acer 5745.

yes you are right :-) . it is a 100 mb recovery partition created by windows 7 which can be safely formatted. however is there a way we can we have bsd not to format all partitions ; i have ubuntu on a partition (in which 3g usb modem (my only internet connection) works after some tweaking ) . thanks, Mubeesh On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 10:58 PM, claudiu vasadi wrote: > you can make a hdd image and then play safely with the hdd. if things go > bag, you can just restore the image ;) > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://li partitsts.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: chunk 'ad1s4 ; ad1s2 ,ad1s3 does not start on a track boundary : install issue
yes. there is an un allocated 50 gb space (deleted a partition using win 7 partition tools) and we created a feebsd slice in the unallocated space while running sysinstall However in the next screen; i guess where it should give us an option to partition the freebsd slice into root,home,swap etc ? it throws this error about the track boundary and it defaults to use the entire disk. sure i will double check the procedure in handbook. thanks, Mubeesh On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 11:49 PM, claudiu vasadi wrote: > of course there is. if you have empty space, create a freebsd slice and your > set. > > handbook - instalation section section 2.6 is EXACTLY what you need, but I > strongly recommend reading the handbook (as much as possible) > -- Best Regards, Mubeesh Ali.V.M ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
