Hi
 I really need some help. I'm installing BSD and DOS on the same disk but
 I want BSD from the start (cylinder 0).
 I installed BSD on the entire disk and change the partitions so that it 
 only takes the first 100MB of the disk. When I use fdisk (trying to make
 the DOS partition) it does not recognize the BSD partition.
 If I use fdisk first, the DOS partition starts from cylinder 0.

 Can anyone tell me how to get BSD first?

 Thanx 
  Greg
