Hi All, Installing FreeBSD 8.x I select "A" at the fdisk partition editor to use the entire disk. It creates an unused slice with offset 0 and 63 sectors in size. Then partition 1 starts at sector 63 and utilizes the remaining disk space. Does sysinstall's diskPartitonEditor macro automatically start partitions at head boundaries? The reason I ask is because I am most familiar with sector 64 being the start of a head boundary as opposed to 63. Is my understanding incorrect? -- Take care Rick Miller
