I am trying to set up FreeBSD on the following system.
P4 2.4C
Asus P4C800 E-DELUXE
OCZ PC-4200
ATI Radeon 9600XT
Liteon SOHW-832S
Antec TruePower 550watt
WD RAPTOR 2X36.6 (RAID-0)
Seagate Ultra 200GB PATA
40GB WD HDD
when I get to Fdisk i have many options which can be seen here
I have 2 36Gb Raptor drives in raid 0 on the Ich5R chipset through SATA. I then have the 200Gb sata drive as the master and the 40GB WD drive as the slave in my primary IDE controller, then hen 2 dvd drives on the 2nd ide controller.
I do have alot of drives and want to install FreeBSD to the 40GB western Digital drive, which is in the slave position on the primary ide controller. I want to use the entire drive for free bsd, but then still be able to dual boot into win xp which is on my raid 0 configuration.
which drive shown in the picture is the 40GB WD drive, and can I dual boot with the raid 0. if possible can you load the boot record onto a floppy and then whenever that floppy is incerted, it will just boot to bsd, and when its not it will go to windows.
I am now choosing BSD due to the endless problems with linux and ich5R controllers.
