I'm triple-booting FreeBSD, NetBSD and that penguin thingy. NetBSD's fdisk(8) allows setting the menu labels to whatever string you want. (limited to ~8 chars due to limited space in the MBR) NetBSD's fdisk also automatically figures out how much space you have left as you add partitions (er, "slices" in FreeBSD-speak). On the other hand, if you want/need overlapping partitions/slices for some reason, FreeBSD's fdisk will do it and NetBSD's will not. (according to the man pages, I didn't try it) For even more user-programablilty, grub has some nice features. But doesn't fit in the MBR. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
