Hi,
I hope that I'm not sending this to the wrong list, or that the question
hasn't already been answered.
This is the right list. If you want to know if something similar has
been answered before then try searching the archives which you can find
from www.freebsd.org or just try google on freebsd plus some relevant
keywords.
I'm trying to install 6.1-RELEASE onto a Pentium-3.
I had a lot of trouble creating the diskettes, but after changing the floppy drive, no problem. Now, when I do the install, I have two hard drives, and configure them as follows...
disk0
150M /
512M /etc
512M /etc
1024M /bin
/etc and /bin cannot be separate filesystems. What made you think this was
sensible? I barely use 150Mb for / + /etc +/bin and only because I seem to
have kept about 6 different kernels :-) So using 512Mb for / including /etc
would be fine and leave lots of space. Even 128Mb would do given the apparent
smallness of your disks.
Honestly, your whole partitioning scheme looks odd to me.
4096M /forums
4096M /mail
4096M /sql
With small disks why split the space up like this at all? Dump
everything into one extra partition e.g. /home and make directories for
mail sql and forums under that. Then it doesn't matter which of these
ends up growing the largest - they all have the benefit of having as
much expansion space as possible and space doesn't get wasted when one
of your partitions sits at 5% full while the others grow to 90% full,
for example.
