Yeah, this is since there's no elegant solution available in the base system... :-/ If you don't care about DOS (i.e., are going to dedicate the entire disk to BSD), and basically know about disklabel(8) and disk partitions (_not_ slices!), you can grab /sbin/disklabel from -current, then: disklabel -Bwb sd0 auto # Might cause a kernel warning about # an ``invalid primary partition table'', # nevermind. disklabel -e sd0 # Edit your partitions, leave partition # `c' alone as it is- newfs -d0 /dev/rsd0e # ...or whatever you have. If you care about DOS and want to install slices, `disklabel auto' won't work. -- 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. ;-)
