Install the "standard mbr" (unless, > of course, you want to boot more than one system on the box). Right. As long as the standard MBR can locate and boot the slice that contains your root fs, you don't need to worry about putting /var, /usr or /home or any other partition on a second disk. Just edit your /etc/fstab with the right entries and you'll be set to go (sysinstall should do that for you, if this is a new installation). - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
