Hi everyone,
The following is what my fdisk editor shows under sysinstall
Disk name: ad4 FDISK Partition Editor
DISK Geometry: 60801 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 976768065 sectors (476937MB)
Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags
0 63 62 - 12 unused 0
63 90188847 90188909 ad4s1 8 freebsd 165
90188910 122865120 213054029 ad4s4 8 freebsd 165
213054030 763714035 976768064 ad4s2 8 freebsd 165
976768065 5103 976773167 - 12 unused 0
My freebsd Partition is located under ad4s4.
ad4s1 and ad4s2 are just empty partitions.
When I boot up, I get the following:
F1: FreeBSD
F2: FreeBSD
F4: FreeBSD
How do I disable both F1 and F2 in the boot menu? I tried using boot0cfg but failed miserably,
under man boot0cfg
Code:
To enable just slices 1 and 2 in the menu:
boot0cfg -m 0x3 ad0
So if I just want the boot menu to have just F4, is the following correct?
boot0cfg -m 0x1 ad4
or
boot0cfg -m 0x8 ad4
2nd Problem
How do I mount ad4s1 and ad4s2 under /usr?
please look at what I did:
[disappearedng@ /]$ cd /usr
[disappearedng@ /usr]$ ls
X11R6 bin compat games home include lib libdata libexec local mount obj ports sbin share src
[disappearedng@ /usr]$ cd mount/
[disappearedng@ /usr/mount]$ ls
350gb 50gb
[disappearedng@ /usr/mount]$ mount /dev/ad4
ad4 ad4s1 ad4s1c ad4s2 ad4s2c ad4s4 ad4s4a ad4s4b ad4s4c ad4s4d ad4s4e ad4s4f
[disappearedng@ /usr/mount]$ sudo mount /dev/ad4s1 50gb/
Password:
mount: /dev/ad4s1 : Invalid argument
[disappearedng@ /usr/mount]$ sudo mount /dev/ad4s2 350gb/
mount: /dev/ad4s2 : Invalid argument
[disappearedng@ /usr/mount]$
I looked up man mount and I just don't understand how this works.
In addition,
How do I get FreeBSD to automatically mount when the system starts??
Thx
