Installing onto a striped drive (the `ccd' driver) is not supported. Unless you're doing this out of curiosity, i probably wouldn't recommend striping at all for such small disks. It's probably simpler to use them for different filesystems. If they were my disks, i would do it as: sd0 (80 MB) sd0a 20 MB UFS / sd0b 10 MB swap sd0e 50 MB UFS /var sd1 (80 MB) sd1b 10 MB swap sd1e 70 MB UFS /home sd2 (160 MB) sd2b 10 MB swap sd2e 150 MB UFS /usr -- 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. ;-)
