I am trying to make a switch from GNU/Linux to BSD based systems, for learning purposes, but the problem I encounter is that the partition I want to use as swap space is on a logical partition and the FreeBSD installer sees the whole logical part as one partition instead of three.
Is there a way to use this partition as I would with Windows/Linux systems? Or would I be better of splitting my BSD root partition in two?
I encountered this problem while using VMWare, with a similar partition table as I currently have on my real pc. I do this so I can eliminate as much problems before I do a real install.
The current partition table looks like this: Primary, an ext3 partition and an ntfs partition. Logical, a swap partition, another ext3 partition and another ntfs partition.
I also want to mount the second ext3 partition (the logical one) as /home with UFS on it.
