X-Mailer: AutoBahn Webmail X-Loop-Detect: 1 Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Thanks for responding, First slice on the drive is Win2K. My first FBSD slice has ad0s2a /, ad0s2b swap, ad0s2d /var ad0s2e /tmp ad0s2f /home and ad0s2g /usr (I'm doing this from memory since I'm at work) In sysinstall, I created a new slice and made the exact same partitions, only they were ad0s3*. I assigned all the mount points. I left the original ad0s2 mount points as "*". Then I used the developer release CD as the installation medium. And to my surprise, when I booted up, I had -current on ad0s2, and ad0s3 did not exist. Maybe I will try this again, but I am kind of wary.
