Do away with disklabel > *on that platform*. This would be a bad idea IMNSHO. Remember that you can only have 4 primary partitions and if if you have multiple OS's you quickly start to run out of them. Personally I like the fact that I can have several BSD partitions inside one slice (DOS partition). DOS partitions are a fairly scarce resource, so we shouldn't use more of them than necessary. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
