Quik its a bit annoying to have to have some silly partition for booting, but this is the way i see it: root]# mac-fdisk -l /dev/hda | grep Apple_B /dev/hda2 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 1600 @ 64 (800.0k) NewWorld bootblock root]# you never have to mount it, or modify it yourself. as far as i care its no different then the empty 1k block at the start of my root partition. its not really any worse then a partition table that lives in a partition defined in its own partition table ;-) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
