I have a 40 Gb drive that I want to carve up between Linux and FreeBSD. I'll show you my idea for partitioning the drive and can you tell me any other suggestions I could do to partition it properly. Linux Distro: Gentoo Linux 1.0 FreeBSD: FreeBSD 4.5 I want to use the Linux Boot Loader which is GRUB. 40Gb drive /boot 100Mb Linux /boot 100Mb FreeBSD swap 512Mb Linux swap 512Mb FreeBSD / 9Gb Linux / 9Gb FreeBSD The installation guide doesn't say anything about /boot partitioning, is this OK to use. The reason I am using this is to make sure GRUB doesn't fall over with BSD being at the back end of the drive. I have 256Mb physical RAM installed which justifies the 512Mb swap size. If any of you can think of a better way of partitioning the drive it would be great. Cheers.
