I've had great success with configuring an initial tiny partition as '/' and doing a minimal installation (and I mean *minimal*, as in, there's nothing else you can remove and still have it boot). The first step after booting the new system is then configuring vinum, adding volumes for /usr, /var, and so on, and moving the (small!) amount of data from the "physical" filesystem to their vinum counterparts. Once that's up, I do a more complete install with /stand/sysinstall. Out of curiosity, what offsets have you had to calculate? -- Kirk Strauser
