Huh? I have no problem at all with this. I used dos fdisk to create the dos partition, and then booted tiny bsd. It saw the unused portion of the disk and installed as advertised. Did you try to partition the whole drive with fdisk? I mistakenly did that at the first try, and bsd saw that as my whole disk already in use --so it failed. I use os-bs as a boot time os select, and it works great. You can get it from one of the usual archive sites. --- Bob Kirkpatrick <bobk@dogear.spk.wa.us> Dog Ear'd Systems of Spokane, WA
