Subject: [NetBSD] Possible to install on IDE and use IDE+SCSI?
Message-ID: <1993Sep27.143518.4653@resonex.com>

My 486/33 system currently has three disks, as follows:
120 MB IDE
240 MB SCSI (ID 0)
877 MB SCSI (ID 1)
Currently, I have DOS on the IDE drive, and a test installation of
NetBSD 0.9 on the 240 MB SCSI. (I only loaded minimal setup, to
verify basic functionality on my system.)
What I *want* to do is something like the following:
120 MB IDE
DOS Partition (small, enough for C:\ and C:\DOS)
NetBSD Partition (basic installation, with /, /usr & swap)
240 MB SCSI
DOS Partition (entire disk)
877 MB SCSI
NetBSD Partition (entire disk, subdivided into two or
more Un*x partitions)
Before I start to throw all my bytes up in the air, does anybody
know any reason why the above *wouldn't* work?
After the installation of NetBSD, I will also probably want to move
/usr to the 877 MB disk, but from what I recall of the installation I
did, this is going to require manual wholesale copying after the
installation completes. That's no big deal, so that's what I plan to
do. (If the installation procedure *could* handle two disks directly,
though, that would be much better! :-)
