installing freebsd prob...

[Eric Draven]

hi list,

i'm trying to install freebsd 5.2 on my pc at home. the hard disk dual boots with mandrake 9.1 and win xp. i wanted to install on the partitions used by linux, however, in the partitioning portion of the installation, the installer only read the fat partitions and not the linux (ext3) partitions. i wonder why the installer can't view the linux partitions; is there a solution to this? (without using partitionmagic, etc...)

btw, i'm installing from cd.


TIA
