Hi All,

        I'm a new FreeBSD user with 12 months Linux = experience.  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.
