I will be getting a 20GB IDE drive as the second hard drive for my computer. I want to have a triple boot system or more. First hard drive was dedicated to Win98<sucks, don't ask>. For this second drive, I plan to have a FAT32, FreeBSD, and BeOS slices. What is the constraints on how I place FreeBSD? Does the current boot manager allow FreeBSD slices to sit above the 1024 cylinder mark. Can a FreeBSD slice start below the 1024 cylinder mark and the root partition to be under the mark, but the slice to end above the 1024 cylinder mark? I might have my slice and partition definition switched. I am using slice to represent the thing that holds multiple partitions (/, /tmp, /var, /usr). -Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
