- I tried it, and in my case, bsd install program detected free space
- correctly. But I failed to boot OS/2 after installing 386bsd, too.
-
- My partition: made by OS/2 fdisk
- 1M : boot manager
- 4M : DOS
- 30M : OS/2 system
- 90M : free, not assigned as extend/primary partition of DOS -> 386bsd
-
- The point is, I think, do not format space for 386bsd as Dos or OS/2
- partition. Leave it as free space before running 386bsd install.
- But 386bsd DO overwrite boot sector, and 386bsd seems to be
- incompatible with os/2 boot manager. Therefore after 386bsd
- installation, I can't make os/2 bootable yet. I'm trying to fix it.
