I am setting up BSD on my machine and getting ready to partition my DOS HD
and I was wondering two things.  1) Is there a way to partition my DOS HD
without backing it up, destroying it, and then restoring it. 2) When I make
a disk partition (I want to keep a small DOS partition) should I make the
DOS partition C: and then the 386bsd partition D: or vice versa?  Ohh yeah
one more, does anyone out there know where I can get a boot selector so
when I start the machine I can pick DOS or 386bsd?  Any help anyone can
provide would be greatly appreciated.  Later all....
