Hi,
I am a customer at a dedicated server dc, where we do not have access to
single user mode.

Bearing that in mind, the dc has started offering FreeBSD 4.9 stable as an
alternative to RH Linux.

The first machines to be released have only 1 partition, namely /
Everything else is under /

Is this a good/bad thing, and is it worth our while trying to get the dc
to change to a default FreeBSD partition arrangement ?

Thanks
