Bronson" Subject: new install on 4.6.2 (i386) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am setting up a machine with freebsd and wanted to ask a few questions: 1. I am very familiar with Openbsd and its installation...with that in mind, is there still the >1024 limit on hard drives for "/" ? I would like to have slice A larger than 503MB (which on my 40GB drive is 1023 cylinders). 2. Any more advanced way to slice and dice the disk? A. More than just a few mount points? - I can add more but I get an "X" instead of the appropriate drive slices.. B. is there a more expert way to format the slices? the install program does this nicely, but there are no 'warnings' presented - like if some clusters cannot be assigned and so forth. Thanks in advance for any replies! [jb]--[at][ktxg][dot][com]} -- J.D.
