I have an ASUS P9X79 motherboard, i7-3939K, 16G Ram, 2x WD5000AAKX 500G SATA III Disks, USB wireless mouse and keyboard, etc.
I have been fooling with this for two days and not making a lot of progress. Lots of google time and seemingly random installs... The BIOS is UEFI and wants a GPT disk. I have the latest BIOS. I have windows 7 on the 2nd disk, for some reason it could not be installed to the first disk - strange. I tried FreeBSD 9.0 (RC2) and could not get past the partition editor. After a few key strokes, BSDInstall stopped responding. I did manage to get Ubuntu to install and dual boot with windows, although on the first disk. I missed the selection of disk, etc., if offered... What I want is Disk Size Part OS 1 100G 1,2 Windows 7 (for warranty issues) 1 50G 3,4 Some version of linux (porting code to FreeBSD) 1 350G 5,6,7,etc. FreeBSD 8.2 (daily use) I plan to manually install FreeBSD 8.2. Use gpart to create the partitions n / 2G n+1 swap 32G n+2 /var 2G n+3 /tmp 2G n+4 /usr 310G+ Mount the partitions down from /mnt and manually install all the parts of 8.2 RELEASE from the DVD. The second disk will be used for backup and data. I may track -current here... If I can get ubuntu to install on partitions 3 and 4, then update-grub should find all the OS's and boot should work. What am I missing? tomdean _______________________________________________ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
