Thanks for the reply. I split the drive in two with the intentions of installing FreeBSD on one slice, and Linux on the other (I haven't tried Linux yet). Are you suggesting that I should try putting / on a small slice by itself, and see if that boots? It's worth a shot. ------------------------------------------- I just recently did something similar (put / on a third drive to simplify multibooting on a system that also includes a 2-disk RAID array). Searches in Google and Google Groups were invaluable in providing information about how to move the / partition without fuss. Dump/restore and change /'s /etc/fstab entry, as I recall.
