I have a disk configured like this: Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 1 1 199 100264+ 83 Linux native /dev/hdc2 200 200 800 302904 83 Linux native /dev/hdc3 801 801 1613 409752 83 Linux native /dev/hdc4 1024 1614 2484 438984 a5 BSD/386 leisner@compudyne$ Will this work and how (it doesn't...my slice is above 1024 cylinders, is this a problem ?) Perhaps I need to interchange hdc3 with hdc4? I also like the way linux boots with loadlin (there's a compressed kernel, and loadlin runs the kernel to a boot device, with the kernel uncompressing itself in protected mode... I also have an IDE cd-rom drive -- it seems freebsd doesn't support ide cdroms -- I have another machine with a Sony U31 CDrom drive I can nfs...can I use this (I suppose the alternative is to do a mass copy of the cdrom to hard disk...) marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur C.
