Well, there's no btx manpage in 3.1R, and when I've tried to boot wd0s4e at all I get "not a ufs" or somesuch error. I've done "disklabel -w -B wd0s4e auto", which I thought installed what I needed, but to no avail. man disklabel and man boot don't give me quite enough to get past this. Maybe there should be a handbook entry on preparing a partition for use as a `root', or, `boot' partition. Can someone just outline very basically the steps so I can get this over with? -- Shawn <=========== America Held Hostage ===========> Day 2271 for the poor and the middle class.
