- There was a 386bsd-version of FDISK posted recently. For those who
- are more familiar with that DOS-partitioner, it might be easier to partition
- their disk with it. But you still have to mark the 386BSD-Partition
- with the A5-ID so that the install program will find the 386BSD-partition
- and write a correct disklabel.
- Fdisk can be found at ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de in
- /pub/BSD/386BSD/0.1-ports/misc/fdisk.Z
