Hello, I'm currently trying to get FreeBSD 2.01 to work on my 486 box, via the
"Install from dos partition functrion"  I have gotten several "errors" or
messages:

"One max FAT child of whole" (im not really sure this was an error)

"Disks must be labeled" (This one occured right after I partitioned the disk.  

Heres some backround info on the system:

There are 2 primary dos partitions, one for 6.22, one for Windoze 95.  Then I
got a chunk of unused space for FreeBSD totalling about 80 MB or so.... 

BTW, I read the faq and nothing seemed to clarify.....


Any help would be appreciated, via email and/or followups... 

Thanks In Advance,

-Mike Capone
