Now, this isn't something that you can tell sysinstall to do directly; more about that should be at http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/laptop.html. It should also be understood that I'm tracking both -CURRENT and -STABLE on the machine; that I'm working (as time permits) on some code that will permit the space pointed to by the 4th MBR "partition table" entry to be used as a "suspend to disk partition". I just finished building -CURRENT for today, and did the multi-user boot, so that's what it's running at the moment. (I'll probably switch to today's -STABLE shortly after posting this.) m758712358[1] sudo boot0cfg -v ad0 # flag start chs type end chs offset size 1 0x00 0: 1: 1 0xa5 137:239:63 63 2086497 2 0x00 138: 0: 1 0xa5 275:239:63 2086560 2086560 3 0x80 346: 0: 1 0xa5 535:239:63 5231520 33838560 4 0x00 276: 0: 1 0xa0 345:239:63 4173120 1058400 version=1.1 drive=0x80 mask=0x7 ticks=182 options=packet,update,nosetdrv default_selection=F3 (Slice 3) m758712358[2] df -k; swapinfo Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s3a 95263 70203 17439 80% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1a 95263 40768 46874 47% /S1 /dev/ad0s1e 915695 750190 92250 89% /S1/usr /dev/ad0s2a 95263 40767 46875 47% /S2 /dev/ad0s2e 915727 750172 92297 89% /S2/usr /dev/ad0s3e 915727 726821 115648 86% /usr /dev/ad0s3g 254063 73145 160593 31% /var /dev/ad0s3h 14116697 4354913 8632449 34% /common procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc /dev/md10c 520140 16 478516 0% /tmp Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/ad0s3b 1048448 4168 1044280 0% Interleaved m758712358[3] ls -l /S?/kernel /boot/kernel/kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2835013 Apr 9 06:51 /S1/kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2834713 Apr 8 10:02 /S2/kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3386431 Apr 9 08:43 /boot/kernel/kernel As in Mike's case, I share the swap space among the kernels; I also share /var and /common -- basically, everything on what the 3rd "partition tabel" entry points to. /common is where /usr/local points, as well as /home. And /usr/obj in each case is a symlink to /common/*/obj (where "*" is one of "C", "S1", or "S2"). /common/cvs is where I keep my CVS repository. It seems to be working OK for me so far. :-) Cheers, david -- David Wolfskill dhw@whistle.com UNIX System Administrator Desk: 650/577-7158 TIE: 8/499-7158 Cell: 650/759-0823 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
