I boot Win2000, W98se, Debian, and NetBSD on the same IBM 770 laptop.
(With help from the local NetBSD User's Group!). I have had no problem
accessing Win98 or ext2fs from NetBSD, but I haven't quite gotten NT's
filesystem visible to NetBSD.
I've never had a corruption problem with the other two FSs, though.
This is with a 1.5 a little before it went into alpha.
