Hi, I have release 4.1 FreeBSD on a pentium III. I just installed a 2 nd hard drive and used the cheat sheet to add it as a dedicated freebsd drive (32 MB /varx 10 MB /backup). wd0 (10 MB Maxtor): wd0s1 none 2565 MB DOS wd0s2a none 100 MB / wd0s2f none 2200 MB /usr wd0s2g none 4 MB /proc wd0s2e none 5200 MB /var wd1 (45 MB Western Digital) wd1s1b swap 128 MB wd1s1e 32000 MB /varx wd1s1f 10806 MB /backup I want to make DOS bigger. How do I create a DOS extented partition? I thought I could move /var from disk 0 to disk 1 and use that slice (5200 MB) for a DOS extended partition but I don't think so. I can think of 3 options now: 1. All of DOS on disk0 & FreeBSD on disk 1: Have no idea how to. 2. Copy entire disk 0 to disk 1 use provided floppy to copy DOS and make disk 1 master can I use DOS to copy my FreeBSD from disk 0 to disk 1? 3. Leave it as it is. backup /var to /backup delete /var from disk 0 (Perhaps unmount it don't know) create slice /var on disk 1 restore /var to disk 1 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -Damon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
