I'm trying to start actually doing something with MacBSD. To start, I
figured I'd mount partitions other than the root one, in order to put
-source- code in and then build a kernel. However, I'm falling down on the
fist part. When I try to mount a partition as /dev/sd1g, it seems to mount
but my disk subsequently comes up fried. Er, "g" isn't the whole-disk
partition, is it? I thought that was "d". Also, I saw the debate as to
which partition letters come when, but I didn't see how it was resolved.
Until I can restore the sources, I really can't look it up myself,
especially since at this point I have no idea where to start looking.
I added a line to fstab like so, after creating /home:
/dev/sd1g /home ffs 1 2
I also tried adding another one, since there was another "misc" A/UX
partition on the drive:
/dev/sd1h /usr1 ffs 1 2
after creating /usr1. What am I doing wrong?
