_Installing_ it in an "extended partition" is easy enough. geom(8) understands "extended partitions" (although sysinstall does not, so you need to install using Fixit# as for other non-sysinstall cases such as ZFS). The problem is _booting_ it. The code in i386/boot2 and lib/libstand is written to find the / (or /boot) FS on a BSD partition of an fdisk "primary partition" (aka slice), or in a GPT partition, and would need additions to handle fdisk "extended partitions". _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
