- It could be interresting to use the install procedure to get the disktab
- values. So I would say:
-
- 0. Boot install disk, install just to init your hard disk.

-
- 3a. Make a file with disk parameters:
- disktab -r wd0a >/tmp/disklabel.log
- cat /tmp/disklabel.log
-
- > 4. Make a disktab entry with a seperate usr partition if needed:
- > vi /etc/disktab
-
- Use information found in /tmp/disklabel.log. That makes it a little
- bit easier.
