Description Uri Sharf 2005-06-04 18:16:56 UTC
Description of problem:   
   
Can not start install ofr Test3 on a 40GB which has a FreeBSD installed. 
   
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):   
   
   
How reproducible:   
   
  Install FC4-Test3 on a disk with FreeBSD installed on a primary partition. 
   
Steps to Reproduce:   
1.  Install FreeBSD on to primary partition 
2.  Run fedora core install (in my case network install over ftp) 
3.   
     
Actual results:   
   
  Anaconda aborts when after it suggests to test the Media. When trying to 
install from the hard disk (dvd iso), I've noticed a strange list of suggested 
partitions to select from (when pointing anaconda to the ISO on the hard 
disk). 
 
Expected results:   
   
   
Additional info:   
 
I've seen something similair with Mandriva, when it tries to mount /dev/hda2 
as VFAT/NTFS, while this is actually the FreeBSD one. SUSE 9.2 Managed to 
install w/o any problems on the same setup. 
 
inspiron:~ # fdisk -l /dev/hda 
 
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes
