I'm just starting using FBSD ia64, and it seems things are slightly different from alpha. This is a fresh install FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT-200906 ia64. > df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0p2 507630 35910 431110 8% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/da0p1 409504 163264 246240 40% /efi /dev/da0p5 1012974 12 931926 0% /tmp /dev/da0p6 12252370 252628 11019554 2% /usr /dev/da0p4 1012974 418 931520 0% /var > Am I correct in thinking this is a "dangerously dedicated" (no slices) disk, and partitions are numbered p<number>? Does this mean the handbook section 3.5, Disk Organisation, is incorrect for ia64? There's no fdisk on ia64, is there? I can't find bsdlabel either, on alpha it's under /sbin, but on ia64 it's nowhere to be found. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
