It is not terribly difficult. Under DOS make and extended partition to cotain the swap area. Under BSD make you b partition start 1 cyl into the extended DOS partition (so as not to overwrite the beginning of that partition.) You can also find someone with BSD/OS. The disksetup program inherently knowns how to do this and the release notes talk about it. That might help you set it up. -Paul Borman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
