Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I use /stand/sysinstall to create a FreeBSD slice wd0s3. Inside it, I use disklabel -r -e /dev/wd0s3 to create several partitions within it. Now I want to create filenames wd0s3[a-h] under the directory /dev, what should I do? I could create partitions with /stand/sysinstall as well, which will create /dev/wd0s3[a-h] automatically. But that process also updates the MBR. I have to set the main FreeBSD slice bootable, otherwise I will get "invalid partition table" on next boot. Thanks for any help. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.
