I have a 120Mb drive, and I'd like to make 20Mb for the 386BSD root (everything else NFS mounted), and the rest for DOS. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it. Everytime I try to use disklabel from the Fix-it floppy, I end up totally trashing the hard drive and have to low-level reformat it. Can someone explain to me exactly how you manually create a 386BSD parition that co-exists with DOS partitions? --Ken
