Moo!
Some people have the need to set up a DOS partition with their
BSD-d-j partition. For NetBSD (and possibly FreeBSD), you
need to set this DOS partition to type 0xa5. To do THIS,
you need a partition editor that is capable of this, ie.
Not FDISK.EXE
The following is a list of sites that carry pfdisk, a
partition editor that DOES have this capability (as far
as I've been led to believe---I don't have DOS, so I don't
have to worry about it :-)) I am not sure if freefall.cdrom.com
has this, but I know that the NetBSD-0.9 on agate (last I checked)
doesn't have this....
Happy hacking.
Toodlepip!
