Hello FreeBSD Fans, I wanted to create a new system and was thinking about the following layout.
Size | Mountpoint | Device name | File system 100M /boot /dev/ad2s1a UFS2+S 1024MB --- /dev/ad2s1b SWAP 15GB / /dev/ad2s1c UFS2 I want to put /boot on its own partition, but somehow I dont have a lot of luck. I can install the OS, but when I reboot the bootloader will not boot. No /boot/loader ... Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: No /boot/kernel/kernel ... 1) I wouldnt mind on which partition "/boot" or "/" sits or what its named, but I would like to separate "/boot" on a different partition and it seems like it wouldnt boot when I do this. Is this just a matter of updating the bootloader ? Wouldnt the installer do that automatically ? 2) The part which I dont get is why is "/" always ad2s1a - even when I create "/boot" first ? ("/boot" will become f.e. ad2s1d) and SWAP will become ad2s1b. So what I end up with is something like Size | Mountpoint | Device name | File system 15GB / /dev/ad2s1a UFS2 1024MB --- /dev/ad2s1b SWAP 100M /boot /dev/ad2s1d UFS2+S Any replies much appreciated.
