i have a 10GB drive, w/ ~1.5GB fat32, ~3.5GB freebsd 4.3, ~3.6GB empty/fact32X, ~1.4GB fat32-extended. i want to install another slice of freebsd on ~3.6GB slice. i hesitate to find the answer myself as i fear i may screw up the whole installation and/or boot entries. i searched the mailing lists but found no, or clear, answers on the topic: "Multiple FreeBSDs on one disk" - edvard fagerholm, 25-mar-2001 "Dual boot FreeBSD/FreeBSD" - mike meyer, 27-jun-2000 "install FreeBSD into another slice" - zhihui zhang, 08-sep-2000 i don't need 2d slice to be bootable, just as long as i can mount it. of course, if 2d slice can be bootable, i won't complain. i promise. could it be possible to do install from the 1st/current slice on the 2d via sysinstall to create fs, type 0xa5 w/o damaging anything? -- so, do you like word games or scrabble? - parv To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
