I have one disk with the following partitions. Primary 1 - Windows 2000 Pro - NTFS : 5G Primary 2 - FreeBSD - UFS : 5G Primary 3 - Minix - MinixFS : 200M Exented: Logical 5 - Grub menu.list - EXT2FS 8M Logical 6 - Swap - Linux Swap : 192M Logical 7 - Debian - EXT2FS : 5G Logical 8 - Redhat - EXT2FS : 5G Logical 9 - BeOS - BFS : 4G Logical 10 - Free Space - Fat32 : 3.5G Is this the proper way to partitions this disk? I was told that only one primary partition should exist on a disk. I am confused with debian because it thinks it exists on /dev/hda11. I can't get it to boot with grub. Should I create a couple of extended partitions and put freebsd and minix in those partitions? thanks, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
