I've searched the archieve but I'm not 100% sure so I thought I would ask. I just did a fresh install of 4.4-Release throught the net using the floppy boot disks. When the drive was partitioned is created: /dev/da0a / /dev/da0b swap /dev/da0e /var /dev/da0f /usr Now I have a 4.3-RElease machine that I made world on to upgrade to 4.4-release and that is partitioned /dev/da0s1a / /dev/da0s1b swap /dev/da0s1e /var /dev/da0s1f /usr Did the "slicing" change from 4.3 to 4.4? So this is the message I found that was some what related, I just wanted to double check before I try to put this box into production. >> Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2001 12:55:52 -0400 (EDT) >> From: Andrew Gallatin <gallatin@cs.duke.edu> >> To: Theo Purmer (Tepucom) <theo@mail.tepucom.nl> >> Cc: freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG >> Subject: Re: error booting after install on compaq ds20 >> Message-ID: <15218.49304.948837.16618@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> >> In-Reply-To: <200108080813.KAA33566@mail.tepucom.nl> >> References: <200108080813.KAA33566@mail.tepucom.nl> >> How did you lay out your disk paritions?
