My guess would be, simply because the install is not really designed to work that way. Since people are making recomendations, I'll toss in another $0.02. Even though the setup below will work, I would personally mount the home partition at /home and make /usr/home a symbolic link to /home. That way, the mounting of the home partition does not depend on /usr and you need not be sure that /usr is mounted first (although if /usr is not getting mounted, the fact home would not either may not be your main worry). I have a separate /home partition and that is how I set it up. > -----Original Message----- > From: Alfred Perlstein [mailto:bright@rush.net] > Sent: Monday, July 12, 1999 10:21 PM > To: Boune, Damian > Cc: 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' > Subject: Re: Is it possible... > > > On Mon, 12 Jul 1999, Boune, Damian wrote: > > > > > Greetings, > > > > I have two 6gig hard drives (784/255/63).
