Hello, I have Arch Linux installed on my i386 desktop and I want to setup dual-booting with FreeBSD. There are a few questions I want to ask just to be certain I won't screw this up.
I have one 80GB hard disk that I want to partition for both operating systems. My current partioning is as follows:
Would I be correct in saying that I would have to remove one of the current partitions, probably /boot, create an extended partition and have FreeBSD installed there with logical partitions? The result being:
Also, would I be correct in assuming that when running FreeBSD manually mounting /dev/sda4 to a directory other than /home would enable access to its files?
I have one 80GB hard disk that I want to partition for both operating systems. My current partioning is as follows:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /boot 107MB
/dev/sda2 swap 271MB
/dev/sda3 / 7872MB
/dev/sda4 /home 71807MB
Would I be correct in saying that I would have to remove one of the current partitions, probably /boot, create an extended partition and have FreeBSD installed there with logical partitions? The result being:
Code:
/dev/sda1 ext
/dev/sda2 swap 271MB
/dev/sda3 / 7872MB
/dev/sda4 /home 50000MB
/dev/sda5 / 1000MB
/dev/sda6 swap 271MB
/dev/sda7 /usr (the rest)
Also, would I be correct in assuming that when running FreeBSD manually mounting /dev/sda4 to a directory other than /home would enable access to its files?
