Message-ID: <CqD8G0.H74@csn.org> Sender: news@csn.org (The Daily Planet) Nntp-Posting-Host: teal.csn.org Organization: Colorado SuperNet, Inc. Date: Wed, 25 May 1994 15:59:59 GMT Lines: 18 I havee FreeBSD occupying a whole SCSI disk, and I have MSDOS occupying a whole IDE disk (drive c:). Is there any way I can put a FreeBSD disk label onto the IDE drive without adding a partition for FreeBSD? Will that allow me to mount the IDE drive as a pcfs file system from FreeBSD? I don't really want to take any space on the IDE drive, since the MS-DOS partition already uses the whole disk. If I have to, is there a way to shrink the MS-DOS partition without having to erase the whole MS-DOS disk and reinstall everything? Thanks, Eric erich@csn.org
