Hi,
I'm testing the coexistence of Win95, Linux Slackware and Free BSD 5.1
on a single physical disk PC ( P133, 16Mo RAM, 3 GO dd).
Just the time to see if I can boot to the OS I want to use.
Then to install on a PC with 384 Mo RAM a 40 Go dd
On the P133 I'm testing, all is working fine with Win and Slack.
Slack boot lets me go to Win or Linux without any problem.
I installed also a minimal FreeBSD in good conditions.
But I have no access at it...
Slack boot don't see it.
And if I accept-when installing Free BSD - one of his boots (MBR or SB)
I can't have no Win, no Slack, neither FreeBSD. It displays the usual choice F1, F2... but no one works (just screaming).
It seems to be a dd geometry problem.
The sfdsk of Slack, displays so the partitions:

I don't have valuable data on this system, so I can wipe of all the OS and start to re-partition. In that case what tool to use ? The old MS fdisk ? Is it necessary to choose some particular parameters ?
