So far so good with making a disktab entry. Thanks all the same. I'm using sd1, so need to say disklabel sd1 and so on. >use disklabel -r -e >and edit it to your taste. Couple of questions. The disktab entry for ba-h, is the blok size for partition (a-h), given in the man as : ba num Block size for partition 'a' (bytes) What _is_ the block size for Fbsd in this instance? The existing disktab entries give wildly different values, but all multiples of 512 ???? The most likely being 4096, shown for a maxtor running 4.2BSD So I guess it's safe to use that? also, as the disk is a second disk, I don't need a root or swap partition, just e and f, for two partitions, right? bob -- Support Whirled Peas.
