A tar file is available at: ftp://hub.freebsd.org/pub/scsi/slice3.tar.gz this shoudl be unpacked at /sys it will add a directry called 'slice' and a couple of other files. it will also unpack a diff file "slicedeffs" patch <slicediffs will make changes to various files. The file rc is my /etc/rc, and i386/conf/SLICE is the config file for my test kernel. basically: if you have SLICES and partitions on a disk, your fstab should contain entries of the form /dev/rsd1s1a if you have 'dangeraously dedicated' disks their entries should be of the form: /dev/rsd1a in the interests of still being ale to boot old kernels you should find what is in your present root disk, and hardlink it to the expanded name for it. e.g. rm /dev/sd1s1a ln /dev/sd1a /dev/sd1s1a (unless your disk is 'dangerously dedicated' in which case leave it alone). recap.. dangerously dedicated entries.. look like. sd1a other look like: sd1s1a add the following entry early in the /etc/rc: mount -t devfs devfs /dev >/dev/null 2>&1 this should just boot and run.... notes: 1/ I DO NOT YET SUPPORT DOS EXTENDED PARTITIONS.. 2/ IDE drives are less well tested than SCSI. please try.. I have been running under this code now for 2 weeks julian
