Since Microsloth calls slices partitions, I am not surprised that this is confusing. ////jerry > The "fat" partition is left over from a > test to see if a "newfs_msdos" partition would mount on OS-X (it did). > Any idea on the partition ID for HFS? > > >From the little info I could find, OS-X/Apple has their own partition > table in sector 2, which is independant of the "normal" partition table. > > Rather than delve into this further and confuse the issue, I'll leave this > at "Has anyone done this?"... > > Thanks, > > Charles > _______________________________________________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
