Hi all, I've just been looking through the docs.. but I couldn't find and answer to this question: Q: How far down a drive can the / be? I thought that / had to be within the 500MB limit (that is, the whole / parition has to allocated on the first HDD within the 500MB region). From the docs it looks like you can have the / somewhere up in the 2GB region (the docs give examples of a 4 Gig HDD, where the second half of the drive has FreeBSD on it). I have not found a reference (yet) as to how far down the disc the / partition can be. Thanks if anyone can help G To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
