Well, it's not clear to me that booting FreeBSD (or Solaris x86, I guess) from floppy (or CD) would allow me to use PHDISK.EXE, and those are the only OSs I have handy. (Well, I did get those Linux, OpenBSD, & Net BSD CDs at the 1999 USENIX....) >I have a 20Gb disk laid out; >s1 windows >s2 freebsd >s4 suspend to disk >s3 more freebsd >... >The order on the disk doesn't matter, it's just the table entry. Excellent! So I should be able to just swap the contents of the 3rd & 4th partition table entries with (relative) impunity, then. Thanks! >> Or maybe it's OK for the suspend-to-disk "partition" to be at the >> tail end of a 20 GB disk...? >The suspend to disk partition must be under 8Gb. I rather thought so. Well, I see my -CURRENT build (on the laptop) just choked & died at /usr/src/usr.sbin/rpc.yppasswdd again, so it's in a relatively quiescent state.... :-} Cheers, david -- David H.
