I have a two year old imac with a retrofit bigger drive that no longer wants to boot, apparently I hit an 8GB disk limit I didn't know about. I'm going to back up and repartition. I want to reserve space to play with FBSD-PPC so I plan: Two small two GB partitions at the front for booting and two large partitions at the end for file systems, i.e., 2GB MACBOOT|2GB FBSDBOOT|25GB MACFILES|25GB FBSDFILES Sound OK? BTW if anyone else has installed a big drive - everything worked fine with a 54GB drive for more than a year, then it intermittently booted into "Open Firmware", now it always boots into "Open Firmware". At least it was kind enough to easily allow network backups. Peter -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime development, Machine control, HD Associates, Inc.
