Linux sees the the BSD's / as /dev/hda3 , and as a primary partition All my Linux partitions are logical partitions . My second doubt is : how does BSD name its disks , partitions and slices ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shyam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
