Yes. My main disk has a 511MB HFS partition and a 1.2GB HFS+ partition.
MacOS (8.1) on 68K won't even reboot or shutdown unless I power the disk
off. The PowerPC card has no such problem. There's an extension that I
think is supposed to cure the problem (trashes temporary items on shutdown,
or somesuch), but I haven't tried it yet.
So, I shut off the main drive and boot from a secondary drive when I
want to run NetBSD.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
