I had to install FreeBSD from a DOS partition (a primary one at that) and now the first 1GB of my drive is unused. Can I mount a root partition on the first slice? What will this do to the root partition on the slice I'm using now? I considered creating duplicate subdirectories with similar names to "/", "var" and "usr" on the first slice - copying the file structure and renaming the mount points when I'm sure I'm done. Will this work? Please advise before I ruin my filesystem. p.s. no alternative installation options work for me - otherwise yes, I would take the 'easy' way out. /\/\att\/ ~~~~~~~/ _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freeworld.excite.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
