Hi,
ok, let's try it again... hopefully this time I won't nuke my NetBSD disk.
OK, my all-DOS drive is on wd0, and my all-NetBSD drive is on wd1. I would
like to be able to mount/read wd0 from NetBSD. But I've run into problems
getting a proper disklabel on wd0. So, my questions are:
1) do I need to add a NetBSD partition to wd0?
2) what disklabel params do I need? Using -B wipes out the boot sector on
wd0, which is not what I think I want to do (since I still want to boot
using OS-BS, obviously)
2) What would be an appropriate disktab entry? I've been confused about
offsets, etc., still... I've included the fdisk output for wd0 below, if
it's any help.
Thanks,
Eric

parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:

Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
