X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am putting together a system with Win95 (For Games), WinNT (To be compatible with the office.) and FreeBSD (Because I wanted a real opperating system.) I am trying to lay out how I am going to have the system setup, could someone take a look at this and tell me if I have the naming correct? I'm going to boot all three from the NT Loader with the BOOT.INI file: **File: C:\BOOT.INI [boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)C:\BOOTSECT.BSD [operating systems] multi(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT v4.0 sp2+" multi(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)C:\BOOTSECT.BSD="FreeBSD v2.2" multi(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)C:\="Windows 95r2" My system has three hard disks, a 1gig and two 2gig's (One of the 2gig's is a SCSI 3). Is this right? Will it work? **The System Primary IDE (Disabled) Secondary IDE (cd0) Hitachi CD-ROM (Master, Mostly for sound.) Adaptec 2940UW (sd0) SCSI 2: ID 6; 1.2gig HD (sd0s1) FAT16 (1gig BOOT w/NT Boot Loader & Win95) Primary ACTIVE (sd0s2) FreeBSD (200m) NonDOS (sd0s2a) FBSDFS "/" (100%) (sd1) SCSI 2: ID 5; 2gig HD (sd1s1) NTFS (1.3gig Windows NT 4.0) Primary (sd1s2) FAT16 (500m) Extended Logical (sd1s3) FreeBSD (300m) NonDOS (sd1s3a) FreeBSD-Swap (100%) (sd2) SCSI 3: ID 8; 2gig HD (sd2s1) FreeBSD (2gig) NonDOS "Dangerously" Dedicated ;) (sd2s1a) FBSDFS "/usr" (90%) (sd2s1b) FBSDFS "/var" (10%) (???)

SCSI 2: ID 1; 4mm Dat Tape* (cd1) SCSI 3: ID 9; CD-ROM Burner* * = This is a future expansion item, but I need to plan for it now. This is what I think the fstab should look like: File: (sd0s2a)/etc/fstab /dev/sd1s3a none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd2s1a /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd2s1b /var ufs rw 1 1 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 /dev/cd1a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 So, what do you think? The Main reason I have FreeBSD on multiple drives is because I know that / has to be on the primary disk (Or am I wrong with this.) And I wanted SWAP to be on a different disk than the system for better preformance. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
