If your second drive is entirely FreeBSD (or at least, the part of the disk beyond the ficticous cylinder 1024), you don't need the `disk manager'. FreeBSD doesn't even use it. > Q2.

From the XFree86 project's documentation, README's etc. For the PS/2 mouse, refer to the handbook (/usr/share/doc/handbook/) section on how to build a custom kernel, and add the line device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr to your kernel config file, as it's documented inside the LINT configuration file (/sys/i386/conf/LINT). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
