kind regards,

That would work, and could be performed easily even using
the slice editor of the sysinstall program.
Of course, make sure t

mark more than one slice bootable, the start loader (from BIOS) will
boot into the first one it finds, and that will possibly be the one of

I know, but I was referring to the update installation o

Mike Clarke:
My approach would be to go for 3 slices. Slice 1 would be a suitable size to
hold the OS and swap, I have quite a lot of ports installed on my desktop PC
so would go for about 20 to 30 GB. This could be less for a server but with
1TB you can afford to be generous. This can then be pa

When setting up my 1TB harddisk for FreeBSD 9.0, I have some questions
about partioning:
I think of creating two partitions of 5Gb; one for the standard FreeBSD
file layour and a second one with a /backup slice on it.
Does this make sense?
