Just to be clear; it *can* use "extended" partitions for disk space. It's just that the BIOS can't boot from them, and therefore the standard FreeBSD installer won't *install* into one. In theory, you can get around this, but not with the standard installer. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
