Isn't there a way to do this the way the installation boot disk does it? That method seems pretty intuitive. >here I need to digress into disk naming: Thanks, I needed this - perhaps this installation should make its way into the FAQ or the Handbook. There's nothing about filesystems or swap spaces in there. newfs would also need more explanation - it seems intimidating, as compared to, say, Linux, where mke2fs [partition-name] can do it easily. -- miguel a.l. paraz <map@iphil.net> -- "migs", in makati city, philippines
