Hi all
I am trying to install both 2.2.8 and 3.2 on a single 17Gb HDD, but
am not having much luck. I have tried several approaches, in particular
creating four partitions, the first two for the respective root slices,
the third for swap, and the fourth for the remaining slices. If I create
the first two partitions as small as 50Mb, sysinstall still complains
that it can't make a root slice in the second partition as the boot
loader can't deal with that location. If I create the /usr and /var
slices for the second OS and then say `Use defaults for all' it creates
a 32MB root slice in the second partition, so that seems to get around
the problem, but I can't boot this after the install is done.
If I install DOS in the first 50Mb partition, then there is no problem.
So it seems the presence of a FreeBSD partition preceding the one in
which I want to make the root slice prevents things from working.
Is there a way around this (other than using a second drive?)
TIA
gram
