I don't like this idea. Can you tell why?? Just because it is "MS style partitions"?? BTW, slices aren't "MS style partitions", but "PC BIOS style partitions". As long as people insist on using Intel based computers, slices are demanded. Run FreeBSD on an Alpha if you don't like the idea of the PC BIOS 4-slot partition table with boundaries on cylinders and MBR. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
