Hello,
I'm currently running FreeBSD and I would like to move to NetBSD by adding
it to my disk without formatting it.
My first IDE drive has the following partitions (from DOS fdisk):
P1 = 0 - 239 used for DOS
P2 = 240 - 479 used for Linux
P3 = 480 - 719 used for FreeBSD
P4 = 720 - 965 want to use it for NetBSD.
A disklabel on wd0 from FreeBSD gives this :
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 30256 238080 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 480 - 540)
b: 88784 268336 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 541 - 719)
c: 119040 238080 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 480 - 719)
d: 479632 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 966)
e: 122512 357120 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 720 - 966)
h: 119009 31 MSDOS # (Cyl. 0*- 239*)
I know there is still some trash from my old installation of FreeBSD
(partition a and b).
How can I do it ?
Can I copy from the binary distribution in 'arch/i386' all files under
FreeBSD and then reboot ?
Any idea will be helpfull....
Tahnks.
