Date: 3 Sep 1995 04:43:47 GMT Organization: Cinenet Communications,Internet Access,Los Angeles;310-301-4500 Lines: 22 Message-ID: <42bbq3$hpr@marina.cinenet.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: hollywood.cinenet.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] It would appear that with the 2.1 install program and fdisk utility that I do not have as much control over the physical layout of my disk as I had with previous versions. (or, maybe I'm just blind.) What I'd like to do is the following: slice 1: dos, 200Mb slice 2: NT, 400Mb slice 3: reserved for Plan 9, 200Mb slice 4: FreeBSD, 1.5Gb I seem to remember with 2.0 and earlier, that I could edit the flags for the slices (virtual disks, physical partitions, whatever...) under BSD and create a "fake" dos partition. Is there any way to do this now? btw - existing layout is: slice 1: dos, 500Mb; slice 4: BSD, 1.7Gb -bob
