AFAIR, FreeBSD can't boot from ext2fs partition. Maybe I am wrong, so is it possible? But ext2fs support in FreeBSD is very poor. I had many system crashes after I mounted Linux partition. Again, Linux couldn't mount FreeBSD partition. I'm afraid they should use theirs native file system.. -- Piotr "Dexter" Roszatycki GCM d- s-:- a-- C++ UL++++$ P+++ L+++>$ E---- W- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] N++ o?
