I am setting up a machine with freebsd and wanted to ask a few questions: 1. I am very familiar with Openbsd and its installation...with that in mind, is there still the >1024 limit on hard drives for "/" ? I would like to have slice A larger than 503MB (which on my 40GB drive is 1023 cylinders). 2. Any more advanced way to slice and dice the disk? A. More than just a few mount points? - I can add more but I get an "X" instead of the appropriate drive slices.. B. is there a more expert way to format the slices? the install program does this nicely, but there are no 'warnings' presented - like if some clusters cannot be assigned and so forth. Thanks in advance for any replies! [jb]--[at][ktxg][dot][com]} -- J.D.
