I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.1. I have created by means other than
the
installation program, a partitioning of my disk (160 Gig), and I want to
install on one of those partitions. I have three primary partitions and
one
extended where I have installed Linux in one logical partition. I want
FreeBSD to go in another logical partition. When I installed 4.7 in
another
computer, I had no problems whatsoever. But with 5.1 the partitioning
utility only sees the primary partitions, the first three and the
extended
one as a whole. It sees the extended partition as one partition without
the
logical ones created there. Apparently I must have the partition for
FreeBSD
as FAT, but other tools do not help me because the partition is too
large to
be FAT.
For some reason the max size of a FAT partition on FreeBSD is limited to
137Gig.
If you want a dualboot linux/FreeBSD (and windows) and have a shared area
for all of them I would recomend you to make gaps for the OS you chose to
install last (abaut 10 gig is suitable for most OS'es) and make a comon
FAT partition on the end of the disk for archive(fat)
