Well, that's a fairly unusual setup, btw. Most people seem to prefer the BSD partitioning, i.e. create just a single slice for DOS, and another one for BSD. Subpartition the latter then. > accordingly ( wd2s2e, wd2s3e, wd2s3f and wd2s4b ). However when i tried > to mount any of these filesystem i got an error saying > "Incorrect super block." As somebody else already mentioned: newfs you filesystems first: newfs -d0 /dev/rwd2s2e (The -d0 most likely gives the best performance for a modern disk, but you might experiment for the best figure.) -- 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. ;-)
