I saw this one coming, but anyway... I took my first stab at changing my partitions, and it was a complete failure. Here's the story: Single 30GB IDE drive w/ LM8.0 installed and running. I booted from a FreeBSD floppy to start that install, but I wasn't able to configure the drive the way I needed to in fdisk/label editor, so I exited, popped out the floppy and booted like always into LM. I started xwindows and ran the partition editor from HardDrake, not making any changes to existing partitions -- I only created new ones (a FAT 16, a BSD, and a BSD swap). Now LM gets kernel panic, can't mount fs, even booting from the LM floppy. Please help me before I toast another install and start from scratch again.
