This is the Main Partition (or ``Slice'') Editor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1995-06-07 05:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
Possible commands are printed at the bottom, and the Master Boot Record
|
|
|
|
|
contents are at the top. You can move up and down with the arrow keys
|
1995-06-04 10:42:17 +00:00
|
|
|
and can (C)reate a new partition whenever the "bar" is over a partition
|
1995-06-07 05:52:05 +00:00
|
|
|
whose type is set to "unused".

The flags field has the following legend:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'=' -- Partition is properly aligned.
|
|
|
|
|
'>' -- The partition doesn't end before cylinder 1024
|
|
|
|
|
'R' -- Has been marked as containing the root (/) filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
'B' -- Partition employs BAD144 bad-spot handling
|
|
|
|
|
'C' -- This is the FreeBSD 2.0-compatibility partition (default)
|
|
|
|
|
'A' -- This partition is marked active.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you select a partition for Bad144 handling, it will be scanned
|
|
|
|
|
for bad blocks before any new filesystems are made on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no partition is marked Active, you will need to either install
|
|
|
|
|
a Boot Manager (the option for which will be presented later in the
|
|
|
|
|
installation) or set one Active before leaving this screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To leave this screen, type `Q'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No actual changes will be made to the disk until you (C)ommit from the
|
|
|
|
|
Install menu! You're working with what is essentially a copy of
|
|
|
|
|
the disk label(s), both here and in the Label Editor.
