Multi Boot Installtion FreeBSd+Fedora+Debian

[Anuj Singh]

Hello,
I had 3 OS installed on 40 GB IDE hard disk, Windows nt+ Debian + Fedora
recently I decided to completely remove windows from my pc and install
FreeBSD 6.1, 2nd IDE I use for data backup only.

I deleted windows partition installed on the primary partition, with the
fdisk utility of FreeBSD installation. After saving changes, I rebooted
machine to reconfirm, and read manual again, to avoid data loss.

Now with the FreeBSD 6.1 installation cd , Installations stops after
detecting my hard disk. I unplugged my 2nd IDE (with data) as it
sometimes it shows me data read error thinking it may causing problem.
Still the problem is same, i can not proceed beyond the detection of my
first IDE detection.

my partitions:
[root at fedora ~]# fdisk -l
