Message-ID: <C26nMs.JBp@malihh.hanse.de> Organization: malihh, Hamburg, Germany Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1993 13:18:26 GMT Lines: 19 Moin ! I would like to use my partition 0 as a swap-partition and partition 1 as the boot/root-partition. Must I expect any problems with this configuration ? Will 386bsd recognise that it can't boot nor mount the root-filesystem from the first partition ? Is it able to distinguish between swappartitions and filesystem-partitions at boottime or will it just try to boot ( or mount the root-fs ) from the first available 386bsd-partition ? I'm currently using part0:DOS, part1:386bsd, this works fine of course. But how about part0:swap, part1:386bsd ? greetings, Carsten -- * Carsten Lutz, Rellingen, FRG / clu@malihh.hanse.de ( NeXTmail accepted ) * * Voice : +49 4101 512493 Fax: +49 4101 27757 Traily : +49 4101 22306 *
