Goodday People, Please someone help me out as I am getting really desperate. I am trying to setup a server with an 40 Gigs IDE drive under FreeBSD4.0-Release. Now, this is how I am trying to partition it. 1st Slice 250M 2nd Slice the rest this is how I am trying to put the mounts 1st slice 243M FS / 2nd slice 773M SWAP 100M FS /var the rest FS /usr Now, it formats the drive and installs, but I am still not able to get the thing to boot. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?? there is an unused slice of 63 blocks at the start of the drive. Should that be placed as active? I tried putting the first bsd slice as active, could that be the problem? Yes, I am tried it with the boot manager & the standard mbr. Please, I need some input soon. If I did not post enough information, please tell me what I should be adding. Though I am not on any precise deadline, I would like to get this done soon enough Jason wouldbe sysadmin that is about to declare himself a burgerflipper instead.
