The one with FreeBSD is parted as: 256mB for the swap, plus 4x5gB for (intending) FreeBSD 4.5 and 5 and OpenBSD.

Surely, I am doing something wrong. The hd is the second one, the slice is the second one (the first is the 256mb swap). Suppose, then that it must be: boot 1:ad(2,a)/boot/loader ?? greetings, irado furioso com tudo Linux User 179402 there are more crimes under religions than under atheism. _____________________________________________________________________ // free anonymous email || forums \\ subZINE || anonymous browsing subDIMENSION -- http://www.subdimension.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
