Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 02:44:55 -0700 (PDT) Problem solved, this is how I did it: My previous partition layout was as following: /boot - 50 MB swap - 1024 MB /home - about 7 GB / - rest of the HD I heard on some mailing lists that people were having similar problems as I did, and apparently the problem went away when they re-partitioned and made their / less then 2 GB. So I went ahead and did a full reinstall. / - 512 MB swap - 512 MB /home - 29 GB /tmp - 512 MB /usr - 6 GB After changing the partition scheme to THIS, all my problems went away. /boot/loader started working, so did "top", "systat" and "vmstat". /me is happy. However, I really think that this weird limitation of /boot/loader should be documented somewhere, preferably the Handbook. /var - 512 MB __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
