However much to my joy I can mount 386BSD floppies under mach2.6 and
read and write to them.
I am just building my hard dik now, however I plan too set up
the disklable information (disktabstuff etc.) and the
equivalent tables under mach, so that I can mount each's partitions
from the other. (This will be how I get stuff in and out of BSD386
until I can get my smc elite ether card to be recognised by 386BSD
...
I use a proprietary board for MACH.
