I put '/boot' for an individual partition just for 1023 cylinder story, although FreeBSD did not need this action ! the following is my partitions layout, pls help to do some check: ad0s1d /boot -> 30M ad0s1a / -> 512M ad0s1b swap -> 512M ad0s1e /usr -> 6144M ad0s1f /var -> 512M ad0s1g /home -> 2017M ad0s1h /tmp -> 512M=20 But after I finished my installation and reboot FreeBSD, it will not load sccuessfully! Could you tell me what's the mistakes ? thanks a lot ! -Shark On 7/7/05, Alex Zbyslaw <xfb52@dial.pipex.com> wrote: > Shark Wang wrote: >=20 > >Today, I heard something on the partition policy for FreeBSD. > > > >Someone said that we must put the mounted partition '/' and '/boot' > >in the same slice, otherwise, the System will not boot up ! > > > > > So what? >=20 > Please explain what actual problem you are trying to solve and why you > would want to make /boot a partition at all? >=20 > Have you read relevant sections from the handbook? >=20 > You could start with: > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disk-organizati= on.html >=20 > --Alex >=20 >=20 --=20 I'm just a bitMaker !
