How do I move around a slice (I wanted to change the configuration of my disk). I have a free primary partition, in linux I did a: cat /dev/hda3 >/dev/hda4 and a copy was there... Then in system commander I booted /dev/hda4 (no problem) but it mounted the stuff in /dev/hda3... So I changed the partition type of /dev/hda3 and booted /dev/hda4 -- and it paniced (cannot find root file system). The size of the partitions and where they are encoded in the slice partition table (not sure what its called). I don't want to restart the install procedure... Also, how do I control booting if I have two slices on a single disk (is this possible? It should be). marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Don't confuse education with schooling.
