Hi,
I've got, as some of you know =b, DOS running on wd0 and NetBSD running on
my second disk, wd1. Well, I've been told that one (the only?) way to set
up the DOS drive so that I can mount/read it from NetBSD is to create a
small partition for NetBSD on it, then create a disklabel for the disk. Is
this correct?
If so, here's what I've done so far.. using fips and Linux fdisk, I've set
up a small (one cylinder) partition on the first drive for NetBSD... but
don't know what to do next. The disklabel program requires an entry from
the /etc/disktab file, but I'm not sure exactly how to construct this;
where do I get the data I need (i.e., offsets, etc.)? Is there an easier/
better way to do this?
Thanks,
Eric
