Hi all!

I am running NetBSD-0.9 on a 486 with 2 IDE drives: the first (200M) has
DOS/Windoze, the second (405M) is NetBSD-0.9. I would now like to
re-partition drive 0 to have a smaller DOS partition and an additional
NetBSD partition (say, 100/100), such that I could mount the 100M NetBSD
partition into the filesystem. I would like to do this without re-installing
NetBSD. I have read the FAQ, and I think I understand how to do this if
I wanted the root partition of NetBSD on wd0, but my root is on wd1 (I use
booteasy to boot wd0 or wd1). This may be an obvious question, but I am
rather new to the sysadmin side of BSD.

please post replies, or e-mail to ejr@ee.cornell.edu

thanks!
