People have been happy with diskprep: http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/diskprep which does exactly this. It even supports sucking in config files so that you could make all the disk have 4 partitions, with one 32M, one 128M type swap, one 50M and one that's the rest of the disk. Can't do it interactively, but you can with a simple config file. Oh, and please tune my filesystems: $minfree = 5; $opt_perf = "space"; $part{a}{type} = "4.2BSD"; $part{a}{size} = 32*1024*2; $part{b}{type} = "swap"; $part{a}{size} = 128*1024*2; $part{e}{type} = "4.2BSD"; $part{e}{size} = 50*1024*2; $part{f}{type} = "4.2BSD"; $hog_part = 'f'; I gotta find someone to write a manpage for this. :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
