Oh, but you can use the cvsup'ed sources to build sysinstall if that's your intention. But I seem to prefer fdisk(8) after the installation is completed. I keep a hardcopy of the following lines in a drawer near by: # Use with: fdisk -f FILE # NUM TYPE START LENGTH p 1 165 63 8289477 p 2 165 8289540 2040255 p 3 165 10329795 2040255 p 4 165 12370050 224910 a 1 This has saved my ass quite a few times, when I needed to change the partition table, giving temporarily a partition to Linux, or that "other" OS. Of course, that was before I dedicated the entire disk to FreeBSD ;) Ciao. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."
