Hi, all:

  I have a fixed diskeet fdisked on:
	+------------+
200M    | Partition1 | <--- OS/2 HPFS
	+------------+
90M     | Partition2 | <--- FreeBSD ROOT ----- mount on /
	+------------+                       \ mount on /usr
1M      | Partition3 | <--- OS/2 BootManager        
	+------------+
220M    | Partition4 | <--- OS/2HPFS        
	+------------+  

  And I wanna remove OS/2 and move my root partition to Partition 1.
I can't re-fdisk. When I do, I can't reboot. It tells me something wrong.

  How can I move my ROOT Partition to where I wanna go? Is there any 
correct way? 

  Sincerely,

--
