Moin !
I installed my 386bsd using the installation-procedure on the tiny-386bsd
disk. If I do a "disklabel -r", I get the following:
3 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 339264 65056 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 107 - 664)
b: 10000 404764 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 665*- 682*)
c: 350208 65056 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 107 - 682)
I have two questions:
1. What is the 5MB-partition b used for ? Must I keep it ? ( And what do the
asterisks after the Cyl.-numbers mean ? )
2. Why must there be one partition ( c ) "surrounding" all space used
by 386bsd ?
I want to repartition my disk to use Cyl.0-106 as swapspace. Two questions
again:
1. Can I use offset 0 for my swappartition or will this override my bootblock ?
2. I build the following disktab entry ( only partition-info ):
:pa#339264:oa#65056:ta=4.2BSD: \
:pb#10000:ob#404764:tb=unused: \
:pc#414263:oc#1:tc=unused: \
:pd#65055:od#1:td=swap
Will this work ? ( swap-partition _before_ 4.2BSD-partition )
Any help appreciated, thanx in advance.
greetings,
Carsten
