I guess it was copied one way or another from an older example of setting up a USB drive for the purpose of data exchange. There is no technical reason to use 'i' there, but then again you can do so. > Does is have anything to do with "i" being > traditionaly a msdos partition? Historically, BSD disklabels had 8 slots, 'a'...'h', so 'i' was clearly not a BSD partition. When OpenBSD extended disklabels to 16 slots, 'a'...'p', things became ambiguous. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
