Well, we call them `slices' (although you don't want a swap slice, but rather a swap partition inside the BSD slice). > I wrote this disktab entry which gives the error - > partition c: partition extends past end of unit > partition e: partition extends past end of unit > :pc#2059140:oc#0: \ > FORMATTED CAPACITY (xx SECTORS) (MB) _____1,054 j@uriah 218% echo '1054*1024*2' | bc 2158592 Makes slightly more than 2 * 1E6 sectors at all. You've tried to assign 2059140 sectors to the `c' partition of the BSD slice which, by definition, covers the entire BSD slice. This would leave only j@uriah 220% echo '(2158592-2059140)/(1024*2)' | bc 48 MB for your MSDOS slice, i doubt this is the truth. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
