Except you gotta disklabel(8) the slice again whenever FreeBSD comes up, and mkswapfile(8) it in Linux every time you boot Linux. However, it's feasible to do this from the rc scripts, i once did it. (I've bought a second-hand harddisk for my notebook, and it came with Linux installed from the previous owner.) I think you also have to modify the `sytem signature' in the fdisk slice each time. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
