Some BIOSes don't play nice with drives that don't have slices on them, and may wipe out your partition information. Creating one slice that covers the entire disk has a trivial space cost and avoids all those problems. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
