> FreeBSD has a maximum of 4 slices (BIOS or DOS partitions) > per disk, each of which can contain up to 8 partitions FYI, Lowell Gilbert told me that this limit of 8 freeBSD partitions to a BIOS slice is a compiled-in constant, appearing to imply that one could change the constant and re-compile. I haven't tried that yet, opting to experiment with openBSD for a while instead. -- Joel Rees, programmer, Kansai Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp
