Well you can keep them completely separate. The i386 design has the master boot record on the disk have four partitions. One of these will be the active partition (this is settable with OpenBSD's fdisk by the 'flag' command) which is the one that is booted--or you can use a smart boot manager like lilo or grub to give you boot-time selection of which partition to boot in to (but explaining that is beyond the scope of me). Use an fdisk program--any of them *should*(?) do, and use it to create three partitions. read fdisk(1) for details, and if that confuses you come back and ask. Good luck -Nick _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
