With my current partition setup, i cannot get a continous block of free space. Partition Magic refuses to move my linux swap partition. So, i figured i would space out my partitions and make /var, /usr, etc. partitions. I had a problem, During the partitions creation section of the install, i had to create >4 partitions. After i create the 4th partition, i calls the rest X. Previously, it had been calling them /dev /wd01 or something like that. After number 4, it just wouldn't give them reasonable names anymore. I ignored it and continued with the setup. And, or course, when the partition format came, /dev/X did not exsist.So my question is: How do i get FreeBSD to work with more than 4 partitions on the same drive ? Thanx for any help you can give.
