Every time I think I have understand some of the vinum man page, along comes groggy to bugger me up.........so I could label a disk with a vinum partition and a freebsd partion (if I can figure out the maths correctly)? f: 29696000 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 29460*) h: 1020280 29696000 vinum # (Cyl. 29460*- 30472*) c: 30716280 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 30472*) sort of like that ?
