Meaning that both are bootable (if you use something >like os-bs, BootEasy etc). > I do this: they both live on the same partiton, I use sd0a as the root for FreeBSD and sd0e as the root for NetBSD so to boot NetBSD, I type: sd(0,e)netbsd and for FreeBSD I let it default.. they have different fstab files so they mount differnt /usr partitions as well, but I mount the same source partition and each mount's the other's root partition as well, so I can fix netbsd from freebsd and visa-versa. julian +----------------------------------+ ______ _ __ | __--_|\ Julian Elischer | \ U \/ / On assignment | / \ julian@tfs.com +------>x USA \ in a very strange | ( OZ ) 300 lakeside Dr. oakland CA. \___ ___ | country ! +- X_.---._/ USA+(510) 645-3137(wk) \_/ \\ v > >
