        Okay, well, I have just received my Walnut Creek distribution of 
FreeBSD 2.2.1, and I'm having a bit of trouble installing it.   Here's the 
deal:

        I have a 1.2gig hard drive with Win95 currently installed.  I have 
Partition Magic to split it up (I'm only using about 550mb of it right now).  
What I need to know is what the best way to divide everything would be, so 
that I could read dos files while using FreeBSD.  I know I should be able to 
mount my dos partition, but that option doesn't come up in the label editor 
when I install.

        Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
