This is OK BUT BUT BUT FreeBSD's kernel must reside below the 1024th cylinder of the hard drive. This translates to: if your DOS partition is more than about 450mb then you will really need to watch your root partition size. The cap is somewhere around 500mb depending on your disk. This is a BIOS limitation. Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
