I'm planning on using the OS/2 boot manager to do this. In the OS/2 install guide, they suggest a setup like this: Primary Partition 1 OS/2 Boot Manager Primary Partition 2 DOS Extended Partition Logical Drive 1 OS/2 Logical Drive 2 Some other OS Logical Drive 3 Some other OS I'm hoping to put NetBSD on Logical Drives 2 and 3. My question is: Can NetBSD reside on a logical drive rather than a primary partition? When I use pfdisk, it doesn't see the logical drives at all, just the extended partition. I haven't dealt with NetBSD or OS/2 before, so any info would be appreciated.
