Should the loader be able to understand ext2fs partitions within an extended (type 4) partition? I have been trying this with a disk containing a suse 7.2 install (automatic) its fstab looks like this: /dev/sda7 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda5 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda6 swap swap pri=42 0 0 setting currdev=disk1s[7|5] in the loader just produces errors (boot loader from floppy, hence disk1 not disk0). Is suse unique in installing everything this way by default? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
