After copious amounts of reading and experimenting. It seems as though diskPartitionEdit doesn't support specifying a starting cylinder. When I specify partition=3Dall, it starts that slice at sector 63. I'd like to start it at 64 or above. Is it feasible to include gpart in the mfsroot and use that to partition the drive before sysinstall continues with the installation? --=20 Take care Rick Miller
