I have three drives in my : system, and my third drive is "dangerously dedicated" to FreeBSD. No : other operating systems use that drive, so I saw no reason not to make : it dangerously dedicated. The amount of extra space is not worth fussing about (it is on the order of a few 10's of k, either 32k or 64k depending on the make and model of your hard drive). Dangerously dedicated also causes heartburn for many BIOSes because it has a bogus fdisk table on it. :-( Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
