I re-partitioned the drive, and this time I did NOT turn on the "include drivers for MacOS 9" option. Now the first real partition (the 17-gig one) starts at partition #3 instead of partition #10. I also tried creating the partitions-for-freebsd as MacOS Extended partitions, instead of unix partitions. When I did that, the extra-partitions created inbetween my real partitions were 128meg, instead of 8 meg. So, I changed the partitions for freebsd all back to "Unix file system" partitions... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
