Hi Phil, Is this your G4/400 ? >> I tried creating a partition within s3 (the ~ 4GB slice), >> but it didn't ask me for size and just allocated everything to >> the partition (/).

There certainly needs to be some changes to the disk editor :) WRT partitions, do you think it would be useful to have them within a slice ? I've been thinking about allowing GPT partitions within a slice for a while, although it does complicate the loader a bit. > Howto: > > - create a number of partitions from within Disk Utility (I used > HFS, but anything will do), one for each FreeBSD partitions required. > > These showed up as ad1s10,11,12 and 13. > > For booting (this is the secondary disk) I used: > > boot cd:,\boot\loader ultra1:10 > > (ultra0 and ultra1 are devaliases for first IDE disk and second IDE > in OpenFirmware, as the OF command 'devalias' will tell you). There's also ide0 and ide1 aliases, at least on my Powerbook. later, Peter.
