FreeBSD 5.2.1 install issue?
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1, but for some reason or another it keeps giving me some error about a disk being too big. I'm trying to dual-boot install it with windows xp pro on a 40 gig unformatted partition. What's going on?

What kind of error exactly are you seeing? What does it say?

When does this error come up? During boot, or fdisk or disklabel editor?

the error comes up as the install is initializing off of the bootable cd. I'm not sure on the exact message but it's along the lines of Large Sized Drive: _____ Process Failed. Not sure what that blank is htere. I've googled the heck out of this and come up empty so...
