This box, a P2/266 has a 30G IDE disk. What I did is create ad0s1 -> 256MB -> holds root for -stable ad0s2 -> 256MB -> was supposed to hold root for -current ad0s3 -> roughly 14G holds tmp,var,usr,usr/obj for -stable ad0s4 -> ditto for -current My recollection is that as long as you keep the root partitions <2 (or 8) GB it should be bootable. Hence this somewhat strange slicing. Thing is, 4.3R refuses to install it's root on ad0s2 (4.3 because I want to go current from there). I'm probably missing something obvious here? -- | / o / / _ Arnhem, The Netherlands email: wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte "Youth is not a time in life, it is a state of mind" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
