Worth remembering: at least in the past, there was also an _upper_ limit to the size based on the lower-level bootblocks that read the freebsd-boot partition, above which things would also break horribly. I don't recall exactly what it was, but it was >512k and <1m (maybe 600k-ish?). So don't just make it arbitrarily bigger. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
