The manpage of boot0cfg says: -m mask Specify slices to be enabled/disabled, where mask is an integer between 0 (no slices enabled) and 0xf (all four slices enabled). which I find very confusing. Could someone explain me what value (and why?) I have to chose to achieve the above mentioned. Thanks for any enlightenment. Sandra
