Maybe this makes things different as well. > [ML] If that is what you wish, you can safely throw away all RedHat/DOS partitions (slices) in the FreeBSD slice editor, make just one big slice and BSD partition it afterwards in partition editor (both editors are parts of the FreeBSD installation program). Specifically, you cannot just reuse DOS slices and put FreeBSD filesystems on them: DOS slices have to be subpartitioned so that FreeBSD could put FFS filesystem on them (easily; there are ways to do it, but it gets pretty involved, for no purpose). /Marino To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
