Hi, all! I've come across a little problem, and I'm hoping you lot might be able to assist me. I've recently become interested in trying out FreeBSD. On the same computer, I also use Gentoo and Windows XP, and this is where I'm having trouble.
I'm planning on allocating 100GB to each OS ( I have a 300GB hard-drive ), but I'm not sure how to set up the partitions. Here's what I'm thinking would work :
sda1 : windows xp (100gb)
sda2 : swap (4gb) -- Does swap work for bsd and linux?
sda3 : {freebsd} / (10gb)
sda4 : extended partition ( everything else )
____sda5 : {linux} /boot (125mb)
____sda6 : {linux} / (5gb)
____sda7 : {linux} /usr (50gb)
____sda8 : {linux} /home (20gb)
____sda9 : {linux} /var (10gb)
____sda10: {freebsd} /usr (50gb)
____sda11: {freebsd} /home (5gb)
____sda12: {freebsd} /var (10gb)
Am i missing anything? I really want my first time using a BSD to be pleasant (and I want my first time to be with FreeBSD. Isn't that romantic?).
