Strangely enough, this is the only place where I could get a clue about this. Anyway, it's like the standard in FreeBSD: wcd0a is a data prtition on the CD (I think there can be only one). wcd0c, however, is the complete disc. With harddisks the "c" slice is where all the partition tables and such are contained... c u Jo On 13-May-97 at 07:14:57 Bryan Liesner wrote: > >What's the difference between /dev/wcd0a and /dev/wcd0c? > >Thanks, > > > > ____ >| _ \ >| |_) |_ __ _ _ __ _ _ __ >| _ <| '__| | | |/ _` | '_ \ ====================== >| |_) | | | |_| | (_| | | | | = Powered by FreeBSD = >|____/|_| \__, |\__,_|_| |_| ====================== > __/ | > |___/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For a world of pedigree OSs FreeBSD - top breeders recommend it Joachim Kuebart Tel: +49 711 653706 Germany
