#define quoting(Mike Smith) // The "compatability slice" feature is a historic leftover, and it will be // phased out in the next major release of FreeBSD. Currently, the only // use of the compatability slice is when booting, where the root // filesystem is mounted from the 'a' partition via the compatability slice // rather than the correct slice. It has also the beauty of not remembering me that my preferred system is sharing disk with other one (which I don't want to name, but I have to use it for games. :) ). I have always done exactly the opposite of what you are suggesting. All my BSD partitions run in compatibility mode. The first thing I usually do after installing a new system is edit /etc/fstab and change the mess create by sysinstall. What's the problem in maintaining the current behaviour ?
