Hello there
I have just "installed NetBSD" and have a few questions. 
1) I have bsd and dos on the same hardisk and I have been told it is 
possible to transfer files from the one to the other. what are the commonds 
etc required to do this. And I have been told you need to mount the dos 
partion, again how ? btw the drive is 1050 cylinders with dos on 0-716 and 
bsd on 717-1050 if thats any help

2) Also how does one ReConfigure the host etc names. It can be done in the 
initial setup but when trying Configure again ,no luck.

3) and lastly I would now like to install some more of the basesets eg , 
man10, games10. how do I get bsd to read the dos disks, (yes I have to 
install via disks) and then get to extract them ?

All possible help required 

Angus
