Diffing boot0.S and boot0ext.S shows the latter to be a two-sector (1KB)
boot with more detailed strings about different partition types, some
difference in SIO code, support for 'BIOS EDD extensions' and CHS vs LBA
(ie, older stuff) but nothing I could spot towards decoding 'extended
partitions'; it seems from CVS logs to have been kept as a nod to jhk's
original 2-sector boot0 code, and hasn't been touched for 7 years.
Having run OS/2 for several years before moving to FreeBSD in '98 I had
to learn about mounting 'drives' within 'extended partitions' as adXs5,
adXs6 etc, to recover about 7 OS/2 filesystems from 2 disks. Last I
looked the HPFS code was still in the tree, only needing compiling; very
similar to the (old) NTFS code by the same author, it worked fine R/O.
Anyway, space allocation within the 'extended partition' is implemented
as a linked list, so booting from one of these used to need something
like OS/2's boot manager (itself consuming a small primary partition) or
GRUB ono to chase down and load the desired boot partition, assuming you
managed from the command line to newfs it as UFS in the first place (?)

Not at all; sysinstall just sees it as a primary partition (ie FreeBSD
slice) of type 0x05 (IIRC) ie as a non-bootable partition, completely
ignored by boot0{,ext} or any 'normal' MBR code for that matter .. the
FreeBSD convention of naming these as s5 etc is a convenient fiction.

Best left as an exercise for the (morbidly curious) student :)

FreeBSD can mount and use filesystems created on partitions inside 'extended partition' type slices (cue standard exposition of the difference between partitions and slices in FreeBSD-speak.) True. However, I believe that you may well have difficulty *booting* FreeBSD unless the kernel (ie. /boot) can be read from a primary partition. Also, I don't think sysinstall(8) groks extended partitions very well, so you will probably have some fun doing the actual installation. Certainly not impossible, but not something you should contemplate if you still consider yourself just a beginner. Of course, this discussion only applies to DOS MBR style partitioning, which is fairly rapidly going the way of the Dodo (at least in the FreeBSD world.) Unless you need the backwards compatibility, GPT looks like a much more attractive proposition for a new machine nowadays.

While the other answers were good, I wanted to answer you more directly. Non-64-bit AMD systems use the same version of FreeBSD as 32-bit Intel systems do, the i386 version. You can purchase CDs from several locations online, as well as many retail stores carry them. Make sure you get 4.10, as this is the best version for new users at this time. If you have a fast net connection and a CD burner, you can also download from here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.10/ The miniinst is all you really need, but the disc1 image has some extras that are nice as well. Disc2 isn't required, but has some more extras on it. These are CD _images_, do not burn them as files. Your burning software will have a special option to burn images. Some burning software is smart enough to recognize that these are .iso images and do the right thing, but it is totally dependent on your burning software. Once you've got a CD, these instructions will get you going: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html If you hit specific problems or have specific questions, feel free to ask the list. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I am running an AMD Athlon system NOT 64 bit. Please help me. Do you have an idiots guide? There are no idiots running FreeBSD. It is a very wise decision to do so. Start with the handbook available free on the FreeBSD web site. http://www.freebsd.org/ While you are there, look around at other things and follow some oother links to various FAQs and othre documentation and guidlines. jerry In addition to what Jerry mentions, subscribe to the lists of your choice. There are many there - as you will see they try to hit on just about any topic there is. Searching the list archive will prove to be a valuable ally as you work more with FreeBSD. And lastly, Google is your friend - there you will find many user sites that touch on many things uses have done, including the famous FreeBSD Diary (http://www.freebsddiary.org) -- Best regards, Chris Teamwork is essential.
