I have three hard drives in my system as follows: Drive 1 (C Drive) 540 Meg IDE Drive 2 (D Drive) 116 Meg IDE Drive 3 (E Drive) 329 Meg SCSI I would like to use the following partitioning scheme, but am not sure that it will work. Drive 1: Drive 2: Drive 3: 400 Meg DOS Primary 100 Meg FreeBSD 313 Meg Linux 50 Meg Linux (root fs) 16 Meg FreeBSD Swap 16 Meg Linux Swap 50 Meg FreeBSD (root fs) Is it possible to do this? I would appreciate any help I can get, except advice to get rid of Linux since I use it for my job. Thanks in advance. Tom Schenk tschenk@unisql.com
