It was thus said that the Great der Mouse once stated:
I always wondered why that was (and I think NetBSD wants it the same
way---I seem to recall setting up the partitions like that on the HP/Apollos
I have (but that are currently in storage at the moment)). It's such an odd
arrangement (to me).
-spc (Can't imagine *why* partition C needs to be the whole disk ... )
Googling shows the first entry to be the root
partition on such a
drive, second entry to be swap, third to be the whole disk entry, and
the rest to presumably be aux partitions...
Normally, yes. I don't think root _had_ to be the a partition, or swap
b, but those certainly were the normal way. c being the whole-disk
partition was, I think, not optional.
