Hi there, How can I delete an existing XP partition on the same disk with FreeBSD and reformat it as ufs, then move /usr to it? (keeping the FreeBSD bootable :)) Running FreeBSD 4.8. My attempts produce a unbootable FreeBSD (invalid partition, from which point I am unable to specify the slice from where to extract the kernel). I had a similar problem when I installed Debian in some free middle space, and once the Linux partitions where recognized, the identifier for FreeBSD partition (being last) switched from ad0s2 to ad0s4. I solved at that time the problem by booting FIXIT cd and manually update /etc/fstab entry for root to point to new slice id. Any suggestions, please? Any references on the subject are welcomed. Thank you, /Dorin. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/
