Currently, I have 1.6 Gig IDE(Yes IDE) drive and 340MB IDE drive. I
selected large drive as master and partitioned 512MB for DOS and 1.1
Gig for Unix. Unfortunately, the os-bs I downloaded cannot handle
large drive like mine, and cannot switch between DOS and NetBSD. So,
I am going to take an easy way out and change 340MB to be master and
large drive to be slave. I am going to partition 10MB for DOS, and
330MB for NetBSD in master drive. I am, also, going to partition
512MB for DOS and 1.1 Gig for NetBSD on slave drive. My question is:
1. How do I label and mount the NetBSD partition on slave drive? My
understanding is that, under current NetBSD 0.9, I cannot label a
drive that is not already labeled. Is it true?
2. Can I also mount the DOS partition to transfer some files from DOS?
Thanks for all the help.
