I am using Stable as my primary OS, but occasionally need to boot into Linux (RH5.0) because my students use it, or into MS-* because it's a bad habit I've acquired. My disk is wd0s1 MS-* wd0s2 Linux swap wd0s3 FreeBSD wd0s4 Linux I want to use the Linux swap partition from FreeBSD, preferably without fiddling the partition table. How? Somebody mentioned vn somewhere, but /dev/wd0s2 isn't a regular file. I understand Linux likes to see its label on the partition and I'll need to have it (Linux) put the label back when booting after FBSD is done. -- Christopher To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
