Installing FreeBSD 4.7 on large disk shared with Windows
I have obtained Sams Teach yourself FreeBSD which includes a Cd with FreeBSD 4.7 which the authors suggest is installed as you can then 'follow along' the book. I have a machine with 2 Disks (60 Gb and 30Gb respectively) which already has Windows Me (and Slackware). Because of Windows not always behaving itself, I have split the 60Gb into (10Gb and 20Gb) for windows and 5Gb for slackware. These are primary partitions. An extended partition holds swap and /home logical partitions. Half of the remaining space of 10Gb was to be allocated to FreeBSD. I started installation, went into the 'fdisk' to create a 'slice' of 5000M for FreeBSD. This was done. The next screen asked about bootmanagers, I asked for it and then the next screen gave the following message: Disk slicing warning Max one 'fat' allowed as child of whole When I hit enter, no other option available, the installation returns me to the disk partitioning screen. This cycle repeats. The only way out is by cancelling the installation. I have more than one fat partition to reduce chances of Windows crashing and spending hours in scandisk checking the various disks. Surely with the large disks now available, my problem is quite common? Am I right in assuming that FreeBSD does not allow more than one 'FAT' partition on any disk? Why?

I don't think there is any such restriction But I don't understand what you have done here. You can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primaries and one extended. If you have windows on two primary partitions and slackware on a primary and extended partition then you have no partition left to put FreeBSD on. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How much disk space is required when installing FreeBSD 4.7
Hi! I intend to make my system dual boot Windows and FreeBSD. I have shrunk the existing partition to around 3GB using Partition Magic and left just over 1GB for FreeBSD. I want to install at least an 'average user' distribution including X Windows. How should the slice be partitioned into file systems and swap space given that I will be running in single user mode? 1 GB is pretty tight if you want to run X. But it should be possible, given that I recently installed FreeBSD 4.7 + XFree86 4.2.1 + KDE 3.0.5 on a machine with 1.2 + 0.8 GB disks (of which the latter is dedicated to /home). I even rebuilt the world and compiled all the stuff from ports - this took several days on that ole' P166 :-) For that small a disk I'd recommend just creating two partitions - swap (I know everybody blindly tells you to use RAMx2, but in my experience you can get by with a *lot* less) and a / partition. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.

installing FreeBSD-4.7 onto bootable HPT372 RAID
I currently have two drives doing RAID-0 on a HPT372 controller; these are the only two hard drives in my machine. I am booting Win2k and Linux (gentoo-1.2) directly off the RAID. The partition table looks like part1: ext3 (a primary partition), Linux boot partition part2: ntfs (a primary partition), Win2k boot partition part3: (extended partition) part5: ntfs, Win2k data -+ part6: ext3, Linux data|-- part5,part6,part7 inside part3 part7: Linux swap -+ Using the existing setup, how can I install FreeBSD where Linux now lives? The Win2k install can't be touched and I refuse to install another hard drive just for booting. I have tried the 4.7 install CD without success. sysinstall begins by automatically trying to load aac.ko which gives an error. This is the wrong module, identified as the Adaptec FSA RAID, Dell PERC2/PERC3 module. But sysinstall does recognize ar0 with the correct number of cylinders. However no slices show up in the FreeBSD Disklabel Editor part of sysinstall no matter what I try. The HPT372 is listed in supported hardware. Is it part of FreeBSD or is HPT support only through a proprietary module? If the latter then I'm going to have to somehow create a floppy or CD image with that module on it and then load the module at the bootloader. Yikes. Jeff __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image
Greetings, I'm new to the list and new to FreeBSD. Here is my situation: I have downloaded the 4.7-mini iso from one of the ftp sites. I have extracted the file and burnt it onto a cd-rw as a data cd (ISO) using nero. I am trying to install FreeBSD from this disc, but am having difficulty. A little more background on my current system config... I am running win2k pro (NTFS), which is dedicated to one of my hard drives. I have freed up another hard drive (3 GB) to install nix. I changed my BIOS settings to boot from CD, restarted and... the system boots into windows. I feel I'm just overlooking a simple detail, but I'm not familiar enough with FreeBSD yet to understand what I need to do to install. I have read the eratta.txt, readme.txt and the install.txt, but can't seem to find what file is the actual install file, or how I can go about installing from the CD onto my available drive? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

The problem may not be BSD. You say you have changed your BIOS to boot the CD, but have you verified that any other bootable CDs work? Like your original windows CD? Also, do you have another machine you could check to verify that the FreeBSD CD is bootable?

RE: Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image
Couple more guesses for you. First, you are probably just burning the image file to the CD in your first example. If you put that CD in your computer when you have windows loaded, do you see one file called 4.7 mini.iso, or do you see what looks like a CD with a bunch of files on it? You do not want to tell your CD burning app to make a bootable CD, all of the bootable CD information is already contained in the original image file. So I would give up on that route. I don't know NERO, but in most burning apps, there is an option, Create CD from ISO image, and then an option to select the image file. In your example, it appears that NERO will only look for an IMA file to create an image from. So here's what I would do: 1. Verify that Nero can create a CD from an ISO image file, and not just their own proprietary image files. 2. Find in their help their process for doing so, and when asked for the image file, point it to the ISO image file. 3. Leap in joy when it works. Hope this helps. -Daniel -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of William Coles Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 6:08 PM To: freebsd-questions Subject: Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image Hello, Thanks to everyone for the suggestions so far.

Installing FreeBSD 4.7
Dear Sir, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.7 onto a device. It's a PIII-1.2GHz with 1024 megs of memory, two-drive RAID supported by Promise FastTrak100. I can boot the Kernel floppy and MFS root floppy with no problem. After all the conflicts had been resolved, /stand/sysinstall Main Menu was displayed. Then I selected a standard installation. I got a message --- No disks found! I'm wondering if FreeBSD 4.7 can be installed in above device. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
