If you google the archives at FreeBSD, you'll find that this is a PITA, assuming it's possible at all. No particular reason for it, just not something anyone has ever wanted to do. Someone may have fixed this since the last time I saw it discussed, but I wouldn't bet on it. So the fix is to boot on the fixit CDROM, fire up bsdlabel on your disk, and change the "e" to an "a", and boot off the a partition. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
