Date: Mon, 1 Nov 1993 02:33:59 GMT Lines: 15 In 386bsd/NetBSD installation, it was mentioned that if you want to have DOS partition coexisting with the Unix FileSystem, you have to edit the type of Unix partition to a5. I have located 2 partition editors in dskutl in SimTel20, but both of them are very short sighted & will not edit type to any other values then DOS/DOS extended partition. I have also located a dskedit program that will binary edit the disk by head & cylendar & sector, but I don't know the location of the type field in the partition entry that I want to change to a5. So it all comes to this FAQ: Where can I find a PD partition editor that will do the job?? Thank for any INFO!
