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
