Was that the FreeBSD fdisk or the Microsloth one? I have never seen that happen with the FreeBSD version. > Slice 1 only has data & config files (/usr/local) while slice 2 > has the boot partition. > How can I deactivate slice 1 wihout deleting it? > Since fdisk screwed it up, I hesitate to try it. > Should I use the install floppies to boot and then do post-install config > and then use Fdisk? Probably. If you can get booted to something FreeBSD you can run fdisk on it and choose the active slice. By the way, if slice 1 has only data, then when you run disklabel on it don't tell it to put in the boot records (boot1 and boot2 - fdisk puts boot0 in the disks main boot sector). ////jerry > Please help. > PJ > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
