On my one box that has a 5G windows installation, I had
(after the w2k) my RH-8.0. Last night I deleted the
Linux stuff leaving only "NTFS". I then tryed to install'
FreeBSD on the remaining ~~34G, but when I went to the
menu to create the slices, a screen showed the err message
"Can't create /dev/ad0s2e [or whatever]."
Am I doing something dense? Upon quitting F1 pointed to "??"
which I let bring up windows. Only a week ago I booted RH
without any problem so it doesn't seem likely that the
roughly 33-34GB are suddenly trashed. I did try to use
*all* of the remaining disk, then use the FBSD bootloader,
then chose "A" for the automatic default. Got error message;
then started over and tried using 30G, then 25G, then 15 and
10GB.
Any suggestions on what I can try next?
