Howdy!
Finally am going to be getting 386bsd up and running, and would very
much like to get "real" partitioning up and running. However, I have
two questions concerning the instructions that are in the FAQ.
The first three instructions are, boot the fixit floppy, dislklabel
the disk as appropriate, and newfs the partitions.
The two questions are:
How do I the first partition bootable and know to boot off the 386bsd
kernel?
Secondly, do I newfs the swap partition? Is there a flag to newfs
that tells it to create a swap partition?
Thanks.
Toodlepip!
Marc 'em.
