Ok ;-) I only wanted to say, that it's possible to add a 2nd hd ;-) Even if this method via disktab is a bit outdated. But it works. > But sysinstall doesn't *use* disktab...at least from what I > could figure out.

I did already ... But here the whole cake: /dev/sd0s3b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s3d /local ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s3e /www ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s3f /news ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s3g /var ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0s3h /usr ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd1a /rel ufs rw 1 1 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 /dev/sd0s3b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 /dev/sd0s1 /dos msdos rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0a /disk/a msdos rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0a /disk/b ufs rw,noauto 0 0 You can add as many swap spaces as you like and they will be used. > Only if you can tell me why fdisk would NOT work in a given > situation.
