Hi all; Ok i'm working on this netra here. There are a couple of annoying things about these things and one of em is that you can only have a single drive on either IDE controller (masters only no slaves allowed). So my goal was to have two 20g drives on this machine one of them being dedicated to /usr/local Since I can only have one single HDD, hooked up during install everything gets installed on a single drive. I'm wondering if it is possible to move /usr/local to the second drive in some post installation method, Once i have the disk prepared with a ufs file system, is it just as simple as editing /etc/fstab and moving it over. Or is it slightly more complicated since /usr/local has important stuff in it. I'm doing this from a fresh install, so no extra packages are being added yet. Thanks Gary
