due to strange disk problems i was down for around 30 hours. i am
currently wiping dos/win off in favor of 7.2-R and i have a question
about doing a "custom" install that would let me slice the drive into
more that four pieces.
i am building, by default,
/,
/var
SWAP, and
/usr
it has been years since my custom install where [[*some*]] technique
let me slice something like, say,
/,
/var,
/tmp,
/usr/local/
SWAP, and
/usr
anybody remember what keys to hit in the installation procedure?

I can't say that I remember the keystrokes, but you can have multiple disk
slices (aka Windows/DOS partitions) and within each slice, multiple BSD
partitions (IIRC up to 8).
I have mine partitioned into (generally)
/ - 1GB
swap - 2x - 4x RAM
/tmp - 4GB
/var - 20GB
/usr - 40%
/backup - remainder
I use the whole disk for BSD (single slice) and create the partitions as
whatever size suits.
Dave.
