Hi,
I have release 4.1 FreeBSD on a pentium III. I just installed a 2 nd
hard drive and used the cheat sheet to add it as a dedicated freebsd drive
(32 MB /varx 10 MB /backup).
wd0 (10 MB Maxtor):
wd0s1 none 2565 MB DOS
wd0s2a none 100 MB /
wd0s2f none 2200 MB /usr
wd0s2g none 4 MB /proc
wd0s2e none 5200 MB /var
wd1 (45 MB Western Digital)
wd1s1b swap 128 MB
wd1s1e 32000 MB /varx
wd1s1f 10806 MB /backup
I want to make DOS bigger. How do I create a DOS extented partition?
I thought I could move /var from disk 0 to disk 1 and use that slice (5200
MB) for a DOS extended partition but I don't think so.
I can think of 3 options now:
1. All of DOS on disk0 & FreeBSD on disk 1: Have no idea how to.
2. Copy entire disk 0 to disk 1
use provided floppy to copy DOS and make disk 1 master
can I use DOS to copy my FreeBSD from disk 0 to disk 1?
3. Leave it as it is.
backup /var to /backup
delete /var from disk 0 (Perhaps unmount it don't know)
create slice /var on disk 1
restore /var to disk 1
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
