It appeared that LILO could not boot FreeBSD "over" or "behind" an extended partition: [lilo in mbr] This would not boot. (A) primary = windows (B) primary = Linux SWAP (C) extended = Linux partitions (D) primary = FreeBSD-4.2 (slices inside) This would boot. (no changes in partition sizes) (A) primary = windows (B) primary = Linux SWAP (C) primary = Linux / (all in one partition) (D) primary = FreeBSD-4.2 (slices inside) -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
