Well - I was sure, too, that 2 gigs were quite, ehm, overkill. But I don't think it has anything to do with the size of the partition (although I'm going to try it with the autosizing, as another kind soul suggested)... I mean, FBSD should install *fully* in 2 gigs, so a root partition of that size is - hm... is there another word for "overkill"? :-) > what is the "I/O-thingy" you talk about? do you mean softupdates by > any chance? No no, I remember having read something about I/O-streams being controlled by the BIOS, and about an option to enable it at boot time. Let me see... <quote> On some systems, the BIOS does not activate the I/O ports and memory of PC devices, thus making them unusable. The hw.pci.enable_io_modes sysctl/boot loader variable (which defaults to 1, for ``enabled'') forces FreeBSD to enable these devices so that they can be used. </quote> But the phrase "pci" makes me think it might only be related to PCI devices :-) Since it defaults to enabled, however, that shouldn't be the problem in any case. Anyway, let's go again, with the autosizing. Thanks for your reply, Tom -- http://%77%77%77%2E%61%62%77%61%65%72%74%73%2E%62%65/
