I successfully completed my first FreeBSD install last night. This was a real minimal install, so far it's only comsumed ~180MB of my 30GB HDD.
I plan to use this as a 'headless' NAT/firewall/file server (P166 w/ 24MB RAM).
I'm still getting used to the 'slice' metaphor w/ BSD. From what I gather, a 'slice' is roughly equivalent to a primary DOS partition and a partition is like an 'extended DOS partition' (excuse the DOS comparisons).
I made 2 big slices prior to install, a 2GB and a 28GB, the former having the install on it.
$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 49583 24259 21358 53% /
/dev/ad0s1f 1782583 169997 1469980 10% /usr
/dev/ad0s1e 19815 927 17303 5% /var
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
I need to mount the other (28GB) 'slice'.
Do I mount /dev/ad0s2 or what?
Thanks
