>Description:
When trying to install NetBSD 1.6 on a harddrive with FreeBSD 4.7 already installed and configured, the NetBSD install program chooses the FreeBSD disk slice to partition rather then the newly created NetBSD slice. It complains with a "Warning: old BSD partition ID" message which is probably due to FreeBSD using a 165 partition.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD 4.7 on an IDE hard drive leaving the unused half unpartitioned. Then create a NetBSD slice with the unpartitioned space using NetBSD's installer. During the install, you will find that NetBSD picks the FreeBSD slice rather then the NetBSD slice to partition.
