That will not work. FreeBSD wants a primary partition. - Also you should be aware that your root (/) parition should go before the 1024th cylinder on your hdd or you may have problems booting. But that comes later:-) Hope this helps somewhat... -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
