[stupid grin] Look no further: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 40960 98304 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 48 - 67) b: 98304 0 swap # (Cyl. 0 - 47) c: 2090976 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1020*) I repartitioned my disk a couple of days ago, and I put swap first. I wish I knew about that behahviour before though, if I'm going to have to rewrite disklabel every time the system barfs (including the bootblocks). It would be nice to have it mentioned in sysinstall until it is fixed. -- Phil -- - [ regnauld@tetard.frmug.fr.net / +48.8N+2.3E / +33 1 4507 9391 / Sol 3 ] - - [ regnauld@freenix.fr / FreeBSD 2.x / ] - "Le schtroumpf est à l'homme ce que le bleu est au billard" - F.Berjon
