Linux partitions to BSD
How do I tell which partitions I'm using?? I have several Linux OS's on my drive and I want to change Xandos to BSD, It's (Xandr) on dev/hdd7(/) and /hdd8(/home) But I couldn't see anything remotely like that when I was trying to install BSD. So how do I equate the linux parts. 7&8 for my BSD install? TIA, Logan

BSD uses slices and partitions.. partitions are divisions of slices, which are divisions of your disk.. so the first partition of the first hdd in BSD is:
/dev/ad0s1a <- ad0==first hdd s1==first slice a==first partition
ad0 is for IDE/ATAPI devices..Their code will be beautiful, even if their desks are buried in 3 feet of crap. - esr
