I am also clueless on this particular detail. No, the `c' partition usually indicates the whole FreeBSD slice. A very, very long time ago (before FreeBSD grew ``slices''), the `d' partition of the first slice with type 165 was used to describe the entire disk. Utilities like `fdisk' and `sysinstall' knew about this long after it ceased being magic. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
