Hi,
I have 1 primary partition, containing 4 extended partitions. Mandrake Linux 9.2 is installed over there. Using fdisk in FreeBSD installer, I created another primary partition and tried installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 there. Unfortunately, the installation process got hung while the installer was "Creating a root filesystem on ad10s3". I waited for more than 3 hours. I selected none when I was prompted to install a boot manager, since I wanted to boot using Grub which is already there when I install Linux. This is the output from Linux's cfdisk: Partition Table for /dev/hda First Last # Type Sector Sector Offset Length Filesystem Type (ID) Flags -- ------- -------- --------- ------ --------- ---------------------- --------- 1 Primary 0 4016249 63 4016250 Linux (83) Boot (80) 2 Primary 4016250 23760134 0 19743885 Extended (05) None (00) 5 Logical 4016250 20643524 63 16627275 Linux (83) None (00) 6 Logical 20643525 23085404 63 2441880 Linux (83) None (00) 7 Logical 23085405 23760134 63 674730 Linux swap (82) None (00) 3 Primary 23760135 28659959 0 4899825 FreeBSD (A5) None (00) Primary 28659960 78156224 0 49496265 Free Space None (00) What did I do wrong? Thank you in advance.
