No, you can do a number of things: 1. What I did: abandon the automatic install, and manually edit the disklabel, copy in the software, and so on. This lets you build separate root and usr partitions too. 2. Partition your disk with a DOS partition after 386BSD, then FDISK it into a single big partition, and edit your disklabel to include the second partition in swap. 3. Install NetBSD instead of 386BSD. > Does the 5MB swap partition on the > first disk still get used, or does it end up being wasted...? It will get used. Two disks gives you a significant performance boost anyway. -- Peter da Silva. <peter@sugar.neosoft.com>. `-_-' Har du kramat din varg idag? 'U` "Det er min ledsager, det er ikke drikkepenge."
