Hello,
<snip>
Because it instinctively (without the MBR boot manager)
looks for /boot/kernel/kernel in the first partition of the
first active slice on the first drive.
But I have choosen to install the Boot loader. ;-o
...
1) I wouldnt mind on which partition "/boot" or "/" sits or what its
named, but
I would like to separate "/boot" on a different partition
Why you would want to do this is a bit unclear.
I would like to use different mount option later on each partitions - just for
the fun of it ;-). That wouldnt be possible if all is on one partititon. Would
that make any sense ?
<snip>
That's a sysinstall thing. If you were to muck about
and install your base system without sysinstall you
could place it wherever. And it probably still won't
boot.
So whats the solution to this ??? Not installing FreeBSD ? Develop my own Boot
loader ?
Part of the reason linux wants to make /boot its
own partition is their ugly habit of not seperating
anything else from root.
I decide not to comment on this anymore. I didnt came here to start a
flame war
of the OS's. Let's not go down that road (most come back uglier than before),
lets focus on the technical issue instead.
Best regards
Nils Valentin
