Simple hack: swap root and swap partition, swap is now first FreeBSD partition Example: 1. 5MB DOS 2. 80MB extended DOS/Windows 2a. 80MB FreeBSD swap 3. 20MB FreeBSD / 99MB FreeBSD /usr If You don't swap, You don't need to reinstall windows :-)) (alternatively start with swap after windows, e.g. at offset 25MB and use 60MB for swap; DOS has tools for repairing corrupted fs). Be carefully with the FreeBSD root partition. -- Wolfram Schneider http://hyperg.cs.tu-berlin.de/C~wosch
