Hello, Using a FreeBSD 4.6 CD I have, I'd like to install on an older system (P200). The machine has a 4 GB IDE drive and another 4 Gb attached via SCSI. These seem to be recognised as da0 and ad0. The SCSI adapter has no ROM, and is not directly bootable. I thus suppose FreeBSD - and any OS under the circumstances - needs at least one little boot slice on the 1st (IDE) drive. I could free about 400 Mb on that drive, in an extended partition. Can FreeBSD be started from an extended partition, or will it need a primary one, and which filesystem(s) needs reside on the startup disk, with which recommended minimum size?
TIA, --bald _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
