Specifically, I want to use NetBSD *and* FreeBSD. I've done this easily under Linux, but I'm having problems understanding BSD filesystem-isms. What I want is one area of about 250 megs for NetBSD and a larger (>500 meg) area for FreeBSD. The NetBSD area is needed as a test/development area while the FreeBSD area is a safe zone for my normal use and important data/files. For those of you who are curious, I got FreeBSD 2.0.5 on CD (Walnut Creek) in order to run Mach in order to run Lites in order to run Hurd. As it happens, FreeBSD 2.0.5 is not suitable (2.0 would've been). So I dl'd NetBSD which is OK. Unfortunately, I was *really* impressed with FreeBSD and want to run it now (instead of my copy of Linux). I could probably do all this 10 times easier with NetBSD/Linux, but where would be the fun in that? Thanks, -- ~Oly oly@head-cfa.harvard.edu
