You can move up and down with the -arrow keys and (C)reate a new slice whenever the highlighted -selection bar is over a slice whose type is marked as "unused." - -You are expected to leave this screen with at least one slice -marked "FreeBSD." Note that unlike Linux, you don't need to create -multiple FreeBSD FDISK partition entries for different things like -swap, file systems, etc. The usual convention is to create ONE -FreeBSD slice (FDISK partition) per drive and then subsection this slice -into swap and file systems with the Label editor. - -No actual changes will be made to the disk until you (C)ommit from the -Install menu or use the (W)rite option here! You're working with what -is essentially a copy of the disk label(s), both here and in the Label -Editor. - -If you want to use the entire disk for FreeBSD, type `A'. Slices will -be aligned to fictitious cylinder boundaries and space will be reserved -in front of the FreeBSD slice for a [future] possible boot manager. - -For the truly dedicated disk case, type `F'. You'll be asked whether or -not you wish to keep the disk (potentially) compatible with other -operating systems, i.e. the information in the FDISK table should be -kept valid. A truly dedicated disk can be achieved by selecting `No'. -In that case, all BIOS geometry considerations will no longer be in -effect and you can safely ignore any ``The detected geometry is -invalid'' warning messages you may later see. It is also not necessary -in this case to set a slice bootable or install an MBR boot manager as -both things are then irrelevant. The FreeBSD slice will start at -absolute sector 0 of the disk (so that FreeBSD's disk label is identical -to the Master Boot Record) and extend to the very last sector of the -disk medium. Needless to say, such a disk cannot have any sort of a -boot manager, `disk manager', or anything else that has to interact with -the BIOS. This option is therefore only considered safe for SCSI disks -and most IDE disks and is primarily intended for people who are going to -set up a dedicated FreeBSD server or workstation, not a typical `home PC'. - -If you select the default of `Yes' at the compatibility, slices will be -aligned to fictitious cylinder boundaries and space will be reserved -in front of the FreeBSD slice for a [future] possible boot manager. -This is pretty much equivalent to having chosen `A' originally. - -The flags field has the following legend: - - '=' -- This slice is properly aligned. - 'A' -- This slice is marked active. - 'R' -- This slice contains the root (/) filesystem - -If no slice is marked Active, you will need to either install -a Boot Manager (the option for which will be presented later in the -installation) or set one Active before leaving this screen. - -To leave the slice editor, type `Q'. - |
