One of the big ones will house (shudder) Win95 and the other FreeBSD. Swap space: should I have three swap partitions, one on each drive except the one that contains FreeBSD? Partitions: Should the root and usr partitions be on different drives? On the same drive? Should there be a separate home or var partition, and if so, on which drives? I beg all you experience people: Please give me some advice! Sincerely, Markus
